How does the May–July harvest season affect supply and should I plan for it?

Question

Accepted Answer

Gardenia blossoms are available only from May to July, so the freshest oil is produced in that window; off-season supply relies on finished-stock inventory, which we plan around contract volumes.

Buyers on annual contracts receive guaranteed allocation and stable pricing across the year.Confirm your annual consumption now and we will reserve your allocation for the upcoming harvest season.
