Our Semi-Selected Laurel Leaves provide an excellent balance of quality and affordability. Sorted for colour, aroma, and minimal impurities, they are widely used by spice processors, wholesalers, and food manufacturers. The product maintains strong flavour while offering cost-effective solutions for bulk requirements.
SS grade ensures consistent flavour and dependable supply while keeping pricing competitive for large-volume buyers.
The bay leaf is an aromatic leaf commonly used as a herb in cooking. It can be used whole, either dried or fresh, in which case it is removed from the dish before consumption, or less commonly used in ground form.
Leaves are semi-sorted for colour and size, with controlled moisture and routine impurity checks. Packaging and leaf size can be customized based on buyer needs.
Affordable option for large-volume users.
Good aroma suitable for blends and industry use.
Bulk PP bags, kraft bags, and customized packing.
Smooth export handling and documentation.
We offer SS Laurel Leaves in various size ranges and moisture levels,. Each batch is screened for impurities and processed to maintain natural aroma, freshness, and colour.
Semi-Selected (SS) Laurel Leaves serve as the “middle-tier” grade in the industry. While HPS undergoes a 100% manual individual leaf inspection, Semi-Selected grade is primarily machine-cleaned and then secondary-sorted to remove major defects. The primary difference is the tolerance for broken leaves and slight color variations; SS allows for a slightly higher percentage of broken leaves (typically 5-8%) compared to the <1% threshold of HPS, making it a more cost-effective solution for large-scale industrial use.
In professional B2B trading, the standard specification for Semi-Selected (SS) Laurel Leaves allows for a broken leaf content of 5% to 10% by weight. This grade is specifically designed for customers who require high-quality whole leaves for spice jars or food service but can tolerate a small margin of breakage that naturally occurs during mechanical sorting and bulk packing. If your application requires 100% intact leaves, we recommend our HPS (Hand-Picked Selected) grade.
Yes. The physical grading (SS vs. HPS) is based on visual aesthetics and leaf integrity, not chemical composition. DITCO’s Semi-Selected Laurel Leaves maintain a volatile oil content of 2.0% to 3.0%, rich in 1,8-Cineole. Because the leaves are harvested from the same high-altitude Mediterranean Laurus nobilis trees, the aromatic profile and flavor concentration remain identical to higher visual grades, providing excellent value for extraction and seasoning.
Generally 1 ton per product.
For export, Semi-Selected leaves are typically packed in pressed bales (50kg) to optimize container space or high-strength kraft paper bags (10-15kg) for easier handling. While they are more resilient than HPS, DITCO still utilizes moisture-barrier liners and palletizes with industrial-grade shrink wrap to prevent “sweating” and oxidation during sea freight, ensuring the leaves arrive with their natural green color and essential oils intact.
