Description
We offer natural laurel leaf essential oil for drinks from Greece, obtained from the species Laurus nobilis. International trade knows the product as Bay leaf natural essential oil for drinks. The liquid consistency of the product remains fluid and homogeneous. The homogeneity is combined with a light yellow tone, which comes from the green aboveground plant material serving as the sole source in the extraction of the essential oil. The tone accompanies a fresh and herbal olfactory profile, whose spicy-woody nuance retains a strong character. The scent keeps its purity, since steam distillation retains the volatile ingredients of the plant raw material and keeps their natural profile fully unchanged. The volatile part of the oil is built mainly from monoterpene oxides, while terpene esters and alcohols shape its additional olfactory side. Natural plant ingredients make up the entire composition of the liquid. In addition, the composition remains free of preservatives and colourants, and its natural purity comes only from the selected raw material. The purity is due to the natural cultivation of the plantations, so the plant material retains its natural profile. The natural profile and the natural origin of the raw material determine the main qualities of our product. The origin leads to Greece, where the plantations of this species grow in the conditions characteristic of it. The species belongs to the botanical family Lauraceae, and its greenery is retained in all seasons in the Mediterranean belt with a mild and warm climate. The laurel leaf from these plantations remains the only plant raw material in the product. The liquid retains its strong herbal character and its light yellow tone.

Application
