Laurel
- Product number: 348090
- Origin: Mediterranean region
- Latin: Bay laurel
Who doesn't know this famous subtropical plant: its leaves are a seasoning for soups, sauces, meat dishes, marinades, etc. With our mild winters, the bay laurel stays outdoors almost the entire period; with some extra protection from acrylic cloth, it should survive most winters... but during real winters: into the shed! Fresh bay leaf is slightly more bitter than dried, making it an extra flavour enhancer! Symbolically, the bay laurel has been used since ancient Greek times as a crowning glory (laurel wreath).
