In its early beginnings, Indesso distilled and exported essential oils. “Indesso” is an abbreviation of Indonesian Essential Oils. In 1992, Indesso started producing clove oil derivatives, Eugenol being the first derivative product. Continuing expansion, we successfully produced other clove oil derivatives like Isoeugenol, Isoeugenyl acetate, Methyl eugenol, Methyl isoeugenol, Caryophyllene acetate, Vanillin. Within the next few years, Indesso was able to offer a variety of essential oils including patchouli, nutmeg, and citronella oil. More essential oil derivatives such as rhodinol and geraniol (from Citronella oil) were developed soon thereafter. Having a naturally-derived orientation of principles, Indesso also develops botanical extracts such as cocoa, coffee, tea, and vanilla extracts, spice oils & oleoresins, cheese powders, and Culinaroma seasonings and savory ingredients. Entering 2020, through PT Indesso Culinaroma Internasional, Indesso ventured into the foodservice sector. Through extensive product portfolios and dedicated teams of experts in Research & Development, Innovation & Application, and Quality Assurance, we provide each client with innovative solutions to anticipate the fast-changing market trends. For the Indonesian market, Indesso also partnered with several world-leading companies to develop and offer a more complete selection of products for clients. The partnership covers the distribution rights of Firmenich flavor and fragrance, Nexira hydrocolloid, PureCircle natural sweeteners, Christian Hansen natural colors, Ballantyne cheese powders, Martin Bauer natural extracts, Dohler juices and purees, Tastecraft syrups, and Biospringer yeast extracts. With the vast selection of products, Indesso can bring total solutions for its customers, which differentiates Indesso from other companies.
