Olibanum Gum

Olibanum, also known as Frankincense, is obtained by tapping the bark of Boswellia trees, allowing the resin to bleed out and harden. These solidified resins, known as tears, range from greenish to yellow and form irregular nodules that become slightly plastic when pressed.

Olibanum trees thrive from the Horn of Africa (including Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Eritrea) to the Indian subcontinent, passing through Arab countries like Yemen. Notably, the Sultanate of Oman produces the world’s most prized incense from Olibanum.

This versatile substance serves various purposes: perfume fixative, in the production of soap, in folkloric medicine, as an incense in holy places, and as an insecticide.

Olibanum in is packed in 25/50 KG PP bags, 18 metric tons in 20 feet containers.
