Sourced from the esteemed Boswellia Frereana tree, which thrives in the northern Puntland region of Somalia, this frankincense is celebrated globally for its superior quality. Known locally as "Maydi luban" or "King’s frankincense". The name "Maydi" itself means king, reflecting the supreme status and unmatched quality of this resin.

Maydi frankincense is not just prized in Somalia but is highly sought after worldwide. Significant quantities are exported to Saudi Arabia, where Muslim pilgrims buy it and bring it back home with them.

USEFUL INFORMATION BEFORE BUYING - It's worth noting that Boswellia Frereana resin is more of an oleoresin, meaning it melts when heated. For this reason we recommend burning this resin in a traditional charcoal burner or an incense holder with a solid metal cup.
