Arogaia daphne
Our unique laurel is the keeper of our farms, since the plants rise up surrounding the area and protect the other plants from extreme weather conditions. With attentive selection, each year we choose the best foliage parts, so as to gather the precious leaves, which after natural dehydration will be packaged and ready for use to make our foods more tasteful.
Laurel leaves are available in plastic reusable doypacks.
