High quality frankincense, made by the monks in the Holy Great Monastery of Vatopedi on Mount Athos. The handmade incense is produced based on old recipes, which the Athonite fathers improved throughout the years. The natural frankincense – incense as it is known nowadays – is a recent development (about 40 years ago) and it comes from the mix of natural ground frankincense with aromas of specific proportions.
