Tolu Balsam, from

Tolu balsam is extracted from a tree, Myroxylon toluifera balsamum, that differs little from that yielding Balsam of Peru. It has a complex aroma consisting chiefly of cinnamon and vanilla notes with a slight floral character. It is a thick brown balsam from Columbia and other equatorial regions of South America. After a time it may solidify.
