Just as there was the Spice trade route, there was the Incense route, flourishing from South Arabia to the Mediterranean, between roughly the 7th century B.C. to the 2nd century A.D. Since then, the incense, a very natural aromatic resin produced by the Boswellia tree, has been used in cathedrals, churches and monasteries for centuries throughout the world.
It is now crucial to propose a new way of collecting and distributing the incense for churches. To do so, with an innovative model of sustainable production and marketing to churches around the world, the Boswellia Project provides:
– a substantial economic return for the Christian families of producers,
– a sustainable preservation of forest resources,
– an optimum price/performance ratio for the churches.
