Historically
Historically central to Oman’s incense identity and ancient trade. Superior White/Yellow Hojari is a premium grade of Boswellia sacra harvested in the Dhofar region of Oman, especially the Qara/Howjar mountains, where climate and altitude produce the world’s finest frankincense.
Frankincense is collected before and after the monsoon season, when resin quality peaks. Hojari grades are sorted by color, clarity, and size. Superior White/Yellow is prized for its clean, pale tears and balanced aroma.
Dhofar’s ports were once the nexus of the global frankincense trade, exporting resin to Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, and China. Hojari was so coveted that it was considered more valuable than gold in some periods.
