Jatoba veneer, often called Brazilian cherry, is a tropical species known for its rich color and strong visual presence. Its palette generally ranges from orange-brown to deep reddish-brown, with natural contrasts that give the wood a warm and expressive appearance. In veneer form, it allows the creation of bold and elegant surfaces that bring character and depth to panels.

Native primarily to Central and South America, jatoba has long been valued for its exceptional hardness and durability. It is widely used in applications where wood strength is important, particularly for flooring and certain structural uses. In decorative veneer, it offers panels with a warm and exotic tone, often chosen for furniture, doors, and interior applications where a wood with a strong character is desired.
