Greek Bay Laurel is an aromatic plant of the Lauraceae family and belongs to the genus Laurus nobilis (noble laurel). It originates from Asia Minor and is an evergreen shrub with deep green, hard, leathery, and aromatic leaves, while its flowers are white-yellow.

Historical References: According to mythology, Daphne was the daughter of the river god Peneus and rejected all her suitors, including the god Apollo. To protect her, Mother Earth transformed her into the well-known plant, which was dedicated to Apollo. Homer associates laurel with glory and strength, which is why it was preserved as a prize for the winners of the Olympic Games.

Culinary Use: Bay leaves are a beloved herb in Greek traditional cuisine, offering a unique aroma to dishes. They are mainly used in soups with tomato sauce, as well as to season red meats, poultry, and seafood.
