Spice oil is a concentrated essential oil extracted from spices such as clove, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, and others. These oils capture the aromatic, flavoring, and therapeutic properties of the original spices in a potent, liquid form.

How is Spice Oil Made?

Spice oils are typically obtained by:

• Steam Distillation – A common method for volatile spice oils (like clove oil, cinnamon oil).

• Cold Pressing – Used for some spices with oil-rich seeds (e.g., cardamom).

• CO₂ Extraction – A modern technique for high-purity oils.
