Origin story
A journey from Somalia
In the highlands above the Gulf of Aden, Somali frankincense begins as living resin tapped by hand, left to harden into tears, and gathered with patience. This is the landscape that shapes every oil and resin we supply.
The harvest
Seasonal tapping, careful collection, and sorting that respects the tree and the grade.
The supply
From Somali harvest to export, oils and resins prepared for wholesale partners worldwide.
Our storyRead our story
Three generations from the tree
Our grandfather was a collector in the Ufeyn highlands. He tapped the trees, sorted the resin by hand, and sold it at market — and never learned where it went after that.
We still work the same trees, with the same families. The difference is that the resin no longer leaves Somalia raw. We distil it ourselves, 135 kilometres from where it is harvested.

From Somali Harvest to Global Supply
Our frankincense and myrrh begin at the source—carefully harvested from native trees across Somalia using traditional methods refined over generations. Each botanical is available in multiple formats to support different applications and distribution needs. Raw resin is hand-collected, cleaned, and graded for incense houses, distillers, wholesalers, and ingredient buyers, while selected material is steam-distilled into concentrated essential oils for fragrance, cosmetic, wellness, and formulation applications. By working close to the harvest, we maintain greater visibility over origin, handling, and material quality from tree to finished product. This allows us to offer consistent botanical materials while preserving the natural character and distinctive aromatic profile of each species. Whether you require essential oil, whole resin, graded tears, or bulk material for further processing, our supply is structured to support both specialty buyers and larger-scale distribution programs. One origin. Multiple formats. Built for professional supply.

Luban · Maydi · Somalia
The value of Somali frankincense is not only in its aroma. It is in the land, the season, and the hands that gather it.
Dalmaydi sourcing philosophy
The harvest
From tree to tear
In the Somali highlands, harvesters climb living Boswellia trees, tap the bark by hand, and gather resin as it hardens. At origin the tears are sorted and graded before they become the oils and resins we supply.
