Material Detail
Cassiavera Oleoresin is a highly concentrated extract obtained from the bark of Cinnamomum burmannii, commonly known as Indonesian cinnamon. This oleoresin captures the warm, spicy-sweet aroma and intense flavor of cassia cinnamon, making it a preferred choice in flavoring, perfumery, and pharmaceutical applications. Unlike essential oil, cassiavera oleoresin contains both volatile and non-volatile components, providing a fuller, richer profile of the spice.
Indonesia, particularly Sumatra and Java, is one of the largest producers of Cinnamomum burmannii, ensuring a high-quality, sustainable supply of Cassiavera Oleoresin.
