At OUD UL HIND, harvesting inoculated oud trees is a meticulous process that requires expertise and precision to ensure the highest quality agarwood. It is a delicate and intricate process that requires precision and expertise to ensure the quality and quantity of the resin produced. Our harvesting process is detailed and systematic:
Regular monitoring of the inoculated trees is conducted to assess the development of agarwood. This includes inspecting for changes in color, texture, and aroma, which indicate resin formation. Our experts use these indicators to determine the optimal time for harvesting.
Harvesting is timed to coincide with the peak of agarwood development, ensuring the resin has matured fully. This timing varies based on the tree species, inoculation method, and environmental conditions. Harvesting at the right moment is crucial to obtain the highest quality resin.
Only the sections of the tree that contain agarwood are harvested. This often involves carefully cutting down specific parts of the trunk or branches, leaving healthy parts of the tree intact. This selective approach ensures the sustainability of the trees while maximizing the yield of high-quality agarwood.
The harvested agarwood sections are processed to extract the resin. This involves slicing, chipping, or grinding the wood to expose the resin-rich layers. The processed wood is then refined further to separate the agarwood resin from the surrounding material. The primary products obtained at this stage include oud chips and incense, which are cut from the inoculated portions of the tree.
The remaining parts of the tree that do not contain significant resin are used to make oud oil. These parts are cut into small pieces and soaked in water for several days. After soaking, the wood undergoes a distillation process to extract oud oil. This involves subjecting the wood to steam or water distillation, capturing the essential oils. The distilled oil is collected and further refined to ensure its purity and aromatic quality. During this process, oud distilled water is also produced as a valuable by-product.
Throughout the harvesting and processing stages, stringent quality control measures are implemented to ensure the purity, potency, and aroma of the oud oil. This includes careful handling of the agarwood, maintaining hygiene standards, and proper storage of the extracted oil to preserve its quality. Quality control is critical to meet the high standards of OUD UL HIND products.
These products are made from a mixture of oud resin, oil, and distilled water, offering a range of applications from personal care to traditional medicine. They leverage the aromatic and therapeutic properties of agarwood.
Made from the leaves of the agarwood tree, oud tea is valued for its health benefits, providing a unique and beneficial beverage option.
