Maori Wild Honey

In coastal corridors across ancient Maharashtra, Kerala and the Andaman Islands, kokum was a glowing fruit that was celebrated for its many virtues. The butter’s earthy scent and golden hue were emblems of divinity, and soon they uncovered its potency, to fight skin infections, dead skin cells, dry skin, stretch marks and sores. Allured by its power, they conceived a laborious process of cold-pressing oil from kokum seeds and refining it into a lush, velvety butter.
