Loureiro Studio derives its name from the laurel as something that circulates across contexts. In Portugal, it forms part of the refogado*; in Chinese cuisine, it appears in broths and spice blends, contributing to layered flavours. It shifts through use — absorbed, transformed, and redefined in each context.

O Loureiro Studio deriva o seu nome do loureiro como algo que circula entre contextos. Em Portugal, faz parte do refogado; na cozinha chinesa, aparece em caldos e misturas de especiarias, contribuindo para sabores em camadas. Desloca-se pelo uso — absorvido, transformado e redefinido em cada contexto.

月桂工作室（Loureiro Studio）之名源于月桂叶，它并非固定不变的象征，而是在不同语境中流转。在葡萄牙，它是 refogado* 的组成部分；在中国烹饪中，它出现在高汤与香料混合中，为风味增添层次。它在使用中流动——被吸纳、转化，并在每一种语境中被重新定义。

*Refogado

Made by slowly cooking onions, garlic, and bay leaf in olive oil until soft and fragrant: a starting point that determines the direction of everything that follows.

以橄榄油慢火烹制洋葱、大蒜与月桂叶，直至软糯飘香——一个决定后续一切方向的起点。
