Frankincense "Athonite" incense

First grade quality Frankincense "Athonite" incense, made from the distillation the herbs and flowers of Mount Athos.

Made in Greece by Monks in Mount Athos. A very sweet and strong aroma. The proper use of incense It is very important for the incense to maintain its aroma, to be stored in a jar that closes tight and be kept in a cool and dry place, because the heat can damage the incense and become gummy.

The good incense has to stay "hard" and releases its aroma slowly. Lit the coal for few seconds before and when you'll see it turn grey and burning well, then put the incense on the coal of the censer. Never put incense on top of a coal that you just lit, because the incense will melt without release its aroma. Always be very careful where you lit the censer, because it will become very hot and use a sturdy surface.
