Is this bay tree edible?

LLM

We've inherited a bay tree but unsure of whether we can use the leaves in cooking.

Does anyone know if the leaves of this bay tree are edible to use in cooking?

Thanks in advance!

Well something's eating it!
What does it smell like?

Looks like a culinary bay to me Laurus nobilis ... crumble a leaf in your fingers and if it smells right ... and I'm pretty certain it will ... then I would use it without worry.
