Additional information
Galbanum is mentioned in the Bible as one of the sacred ingredients of the incense described in the Book of Exodus, demonstrating its long-standing cultural and religious significance.
Despite its exotic aroma, the Ferula plant belongs to the Apiaceae family, the same family as everyday plants like carrots, parsley, and dill.
Traditional harvesting of galbanum resin involves making incisions in the lower part of the plant stem, allowing the resin to exude and solidify into tears that are collected by hand, a technique that has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years.
