Fraterworks: Green cardamom (the queen of spices) is a radiant gem in perfumery. while most suppliers sell oil from ceylon and india, the supreme variety comes from the lush volcanic nation of beautiful guatemala. in its native land of india, the spice is held in such high esteem that it forms a vital part of the festival dish payasam, a sweet and highly fragrant rice pudding.
Our cardamom oil comes from the highest grade of green cardamom pods and is the ultimate extraction of the spice. so much so that we call it our signature oil.
Origin: guatemala
Part: seed pods and seeds
Method: steam distillation at source
