Descripción

A turpentine produced from the steam distillation of the balsam from the French Maritime pine tree, Pinus maritinus. It has a fine, light odor, long having had a reputation as the best material for paintings. The raw balsam, called Bordeaux turpentine, also produces the non-distilled residue called "Burgundy pitch," which is used as a cement.
