A Geographical Indication (GI) tag is an official certification from the Government of India recognising that a product comes from a specific region and has qualities tied to that origin. Kandhamal turmeric received its GI tag in April 2019, acknowledging the district's unique climate, soil and centuries-old farming practices as the reason for its superior curcumin, oleoresin and volatile oil content — something that cannot be replicated by turmeric grown anywhere else.
Oleoresin is a natural extract from turmeric — similar to an essential oil — that gives it its deep golden colour and rich flavour. Volatile oils are aromatic compounds found throughout the plant (leaf, seed, stem and root) that create turmeric's characteristic aroma. Kandhamal turmeric is prized for its exceptionally high content of both. Higher oleoresin means more vibrant colour and richer taste in your cooking; higher volatile oils mean the intense, fragrant aroma that hits you the moment you open the pack. These are among the key reasons Kandhamal received its GI certification.
Kandhamal's tribal farmers have cultivated turmeric in the forests and hills of the district for generations using methods that remain unchanged today. They grow turmeric organically without any synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, relying on the region's naturally fertile forest soil and clean water sources. The rhizomes are hand-planted, hand-harvested at peak ripeness, sun-dried and stone-ground — a process that preserves the natural volatile oils and oleoresin that make Kandhamal turmeric uniquely potent and aromatic.
