OMANI LUBAN HONEY Oman's treasure
About omani honey
Omani honey is considered special because of a unique combination of geography, climate, and traditional practices that influence its taste, purity, and health value. Here are the key reasons:
Oman has diverse landscapes—mountains, deserts, and coastal plains—which host unique flowering plants and trees.
Many Omani beekeepers still use traditional methods passed down through generations.
Oman’s relatively untouched natural environment means less pollution, pesticides, or commercial farming impact compared to many other regions.
Omani honey is traditionally believed to have strong healing properties—used for digestion, immunity, wound healing, and energy.
The rarity, coupled with high demand across the Gulf and internationally, makes it one of the most expensive honeys in the world.
Why Honoor has chosen
Omani Luban Honey?
Luban honey (frankincense honey) from Oman is especially unique, and it stands out even among other rare honeys such as our Saudi and Yemeni honey
Here’s why it’s so special:
Derived from Frankincense Trees (Boswellia sacra)
Oman, particularly the Dhofar region, is the world’s most famous source of true frankincense (luban).
Bees feed directly on the nectar of Boswellia sacra flowers, producing a honey with the plant’s medicinal compounds.
This makes it exclusive to Oman—since frankincense trees grow only in very limited areas
Unique Taste & Aroma
Luban honey has a distinct, sweet, resinous, slightly herbal flavor with a subtle hint of frankincense.
Exceptional Medicinal Properties
Frankincense itself has been prized for thousands of years for its healing powers, and Luban honey carries some of those benefits:
Anti-inflammatory & antibacterial – helps fight infections and supports wound healing.
Digestive aid – traditionally used to ease stomach issues, bloating, and acid reflux.
Immune booster – high in antioxidants.
Respiratory health – soothing for coughs, colds, and throat irritation.
Rarity & Prestige
Harvesting is very limited, because frankincense trees flower only briefly.
This makes Luban honey one of the rarest and most expensive honeys in the world, often sold in small luxury batches.
It is considered a cultural and medicinal treasure of Oman.
