From trees in the eastern Dhofar region in Oman, comes this superior quality Hojari grade of Frankincense. One of the best grades in the world, originating from the Boswellia sacra tree, is one of the finest natural scents in existence. Royal Hojari also has the most oils of all the grades of Frankincense, averaging 8.5%. Royal Hojari is also said to be the same Frankincense brought by the wise men to celebrate the birth of Jesus, along with Myrrh and Gold. Frankincense has been traded for over 5000 years for its medicinal and spiritual benefits with the earliest records dating back to 1500 B.C in Egypt and is one of many treasured incense of antiquity. It is used in all masses and rituals around the world.
Frankincense is edible and can be chewed as gum, it’s a bit stickier at first, and slightly bitter at first, but great for oral health, and has a very long-lasting flavour. It’s made up of 30-36% water-soluble gum, which you absorb most of it when chewed. The majority of frankincense is made up of resin, which is alcohol and oil soluble, but not water-soluble. It’s in this resin where the famed Boswellia acid is contained, although its molecular weight is too high to go into the essential oil.
Frankincense is also known as Hojari, Luban, Hoojri, Olibanum, لبان, and al-lubān.
