ABOUT
Ocotea is distilled from the leaves of Ocotea quixos, a large tree found in the Amazon wilderness on the west side of the Andes Mountains. Used historically for more than 500 years to flavor cakes and sweets, ocotea is commonly referred to by the native people throughout Ecuador as false Canela, or false cinnamon. Ocotea essential oil has a warm, spicy aroma that is similar to but more delicate than that of Cinnamon Bark. Honored as a spiritual oil for many years, Ocotea is still used in purification rituals today.
