Description
Our organic laurel leaf essential oil for food is obtained from the species Laurus nobilis. The product is known as Bay leaf organic essential oil for food in international practice. The plant belongs to the family Lauraceae, whose evergreen trees and shrubs grow mainly in the warm coastal areas of the Mediterranean. The trees for this product grow in Bulgaria under an organic cultivation regime. The organic regime keeps the composition free of synthetic residues and therefore preserves its natural fullness. The natural fullness of the product is due to steam distillation, which remains the established method of obtaining the oil from this plant species. The established method of extraction preserves the purity of the aroma and leaves in the liquid only those volatile substances that the plant accumulates in its foliage. The advantages of the product start precisely from this purity. The advantages continue with the fully organic composition of the oil, which moreover does not include preservatives or colourants. The composition covers only substances of plant origin, gathered in a mobile liquid. The liquid keeps a homogeneous consistency throughout its volume. The homogeneous consistency goes together with a fresh and herbal aroma, in whose depth the spicy-woody side of the raw material can be sensed. The aromatic substances are contained in the leaves of the evergreen tree, which also determine the light yellow colour of the oil. The light yellow colour is clearly visible when viewed in daylight and indicates the plant source from which the entire composition of this organic product originates. The oil retains a strong aroma, rich and clearly perceptible throughout the liquid.

Application
Laurel leaf essential oil imparts a characteristic warm, spicy and slightly balsamic nuance that enriches the flavour profile of numerous dishes and culinary detergents. In professional kitchens and in the production of food products it is added in small quantities to flavour soups, broths and stews, where it contributes depth and fullness of taste. It is suitable for seasoning meat and fish specialities, braised vegetables, dishes with legumes and lentils, as well as for traditional recipes of Mediterranean and Balkan cuisine. It finds a place in the preparation of marinades, dressings, sauces and dips, where the concentrated aroma replaces the need for a large quantity of dried leaves. It is also used in the production of meat and sausage products, canned vegetables, pickles and ready culinary mixes, where it ensures an even distribution of the aroma and stability during storage. It is used to enrich herbal blends, seasoning compositions and functional recipes oriented towards natural taste. Thanks to its high concentration the oil is easy to dose and allows precise control over the intensity of flavouring, which makes it a preferred component for gourmet recipes and high added value products intended for demanding consumers.
