Resins and balms

High-quality grain incense from the most ancient ports of the Middle East.
Frankincense is by far the most well-known aromatic resin; it consists of the latex that oozes from the bark of various species of Boswellia (Burseracee), dried by exposure to air and sun.
Its ritual and purifying uses are lost in the mists of time.
The high quality of our incense is due to the rigorous selection of the original plantations in East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, as well as the careful selection of the packaged grains; Those that are too fine and/or dusty are discarded as they constitute the lowest-quality fraction of the harvest, as the resin is much more oxidized and altered.

Description

From the union of a first-class incense grain with mastic (the precious resin native to the Greek island of Chios) comes Greek Olibanum, an aromatic blend whose fumigations have inebriated Eastern Christian places of worship for millennia. The characteristic resinous-balsamic atmosphere of these sanctuaries originates from its combustion.
The Greek mastic contained in this product could be purchased in every bazaar in the ancient world and remains a highly prized commodity to this day; it is obtained from the Pistacia lentiscus.
