About Cardamom Oleoresin

Cardamom Oleoresin is extracted from premium Elettaria cardamomum seeds — the 'Queen of Spices' — sourced from Kerala's high-altitude cardamom estates. Standardised for 1,8-cineole and terpinyl acetate, it captures the full sweet-spicy aromatic profile of green cardamom in a highly concentrated, easy-to-handle form. SV Botanica supplies food-grade and CO2-extracted cardamom oleoresin ideal for confectionery, beverages, bakery, and premium savoury food applications.
