Omani Frankincense Resin — Hojari
Boswellia sacra(Burseraceae)
Origin VerifiedTraceableSample AvailableLimited LotWild HarvestedPremium Grade
Dhofari Boswellia sacra tears, sorted by the traditional colour-and-size grading.
Boswellia sacra resin from the Dhofar region of southern Oman — the frankincense of the historic incense route. Graded by the traditional convention in which the palest, largest and cleanest tears command the highest prices.
That grading is commercial and visual, not analytical. Pale colour correlates loosely with a cleaner, sweeter burn, but it does not reliably predict the composition of a distilled oil, and buyers specifying for distillation should evaluate the resin rather than rely on grade name alone.
The burn is sweeter, softer and more lemon-inflected than either the Somali or Ethiopian species, with a characteristic clean sweetness in the dry-out.
