Originating from the Boswellia sacra trees nestled in the eastern Dhofar region of Oman, the majestic Royal Hojari grade of Frankincense emerges as a verdant tear, renowned as the pinnacle of its kind worldwide. With an impressive 8.5% oil content, this exquisite resin boasts the highest concentration among all Frankincense grades, bestowing upon it an unparalleled natural fragrance. Believed to be the very Frankincense presented by the wise men during the nativity of Jesus, alongside Myrrh and Gold, this sacred resin has been revered for over five millennia for its medicinal and spiritual properties, with its earliest documented use dating back to 1500 B.C. in ancient Egypt. Frankincense, also known as Hojari, Luban, Hoojri, and Olibanum, holds a cherished place in history as one of the most esteemed incenses of antiquity, finding its presence in religious ceremonies and rituals worldwide.

Beyond its ceremonial significance, Frankincense offers an unexpected culinary dimension, as it can be chewed as gum, imparting a slightly bitter yet enduring flavor. With its water-soluble gum content ranging from 30-36%, Frankincense also contributes to oral health while offering a distinctive and long-lasting taste experience. Composed predominantly of resin, which is soluble in alcohol and oil but not in water, Frankincense contains the esteemed Boswellia acid, renowned for its therapeutic properties, though its molecular weight precludes its presence in essential oil.
