California Bay Laurel Esssence
Experience the true scent and taste of California with our premium California Bay Laurel Hydrosol. The flavor of California Bay Laurel (Umbellularia californica) is approximately five times stronger and more robust compared to Laurus nobilis (Mediterranean bay laurel).
Hydrosols are highly concentrated fragrances, similar to essential oils, but they are water-based. Our advanced distillation process removes the terpenes that cause pepperiness and umbellulone, which can cause headaches, leaving behind a dense, floral fragrance.
Our hydrosol is crafted from trimmings that support healthier forests. Creating a product out of land stewardship continues a loop of positive impacts on the land.

The California bay laurel (Umbellularia californica) is a tree species native and unique to California, playing a crucial role in the local ecosystem by providing habitat and food for diverse wildlife.
