Product Abstract: The Laurel botanical is a small evergreen shrub or tree that originated in the eastern Mediterranean countries. The tree reaches maturity after five years and yields approximately 5 kg of leaves per season, which in turn yields approximately 50-70 g of essential oil. Although Laurel leaves have been known for thousands of years, their use as a household culinary herb is believed to be a comparatively recent one.
