What a mess I’ve made. I did everything wrong, spent 5 hours trying to melt the resin from dry dirty wood, destroyed a pot, ruined my sweatshirt, with only about a teaspoon of resin extracted. But I could see lots of resin in the wood and since this is all going to end up infused in olive oil, I covered the whole mess in oil, covered it so all the delicate essential oils wouldn’t evaporate, and after a few hours in a double boiler, the sap is finally melting into the oil. Don’t do it like my first attempt if you ever want a clean kitchen again. But the smell is… sweet like honey, spicy like cloves, so intensely balsamic it conjures up the forest of sap oozing pines at Epidaurus that had my head spinning, peppery and so animalistic with musk it feels a little salacious standing over it and inhaling as I stir it. There’s satyr and nymph bawdiness in there. I’m tempted to leave it exactly as is, just binding it with beeswax because I promise you’ve never smelled anything like this. Just incredible.

Last photo if you are following along with the resin clarification. It took a full day to render the resin out of the wood and I let it cool overnight before straining this morning. I’ve never had a resin infused oil turn so orange. It’s viscous too so there was a lot of resin trapped in the bark. Despite the destruction of my kitchen I am very happy with the results.
