Bay Leaves are robust, strongly aromatic with a woody, astringent flavor and a pleasant, slightly minty aroma. It is used to flavor all kinds of meat and vegetable dishes, soups and sauces.

Bay leaves are pungent and have a sharp, bitter taste, with the California bay leaf a bit more intense and bitter in flavor than the Turkish. The flavor and aroma of bay leaves owes in large part to the essential oil eugenol

It is a little hard to discribe, but I would say bitter is about the only way to discribe it. It is good to put like one or two bay leaves in homemade spagetti sauce. My mom used it all the time in hers.
