Some history of the Bay Leaf / Laurel Leaf
Bay Laurel has been known for thousands of years but the use of its leaves as a household culinary herb is a comparatively recent one.
Bay Laurel oil was very popular with the Romans, who thought Bay / Laurel was a symbol of wisdom, peace and protection. The Latin Laudis means to praise, which is why the victors at the Olympic games were presented with a Laurel (Bay) Wreath.
