Musk

Posted December 2014 
by admin 

The pungent secretion of an abdominal gland of the male musk deer. Since musk was expensive, it was likely more often called for in recipes than actually used. Today, authentic natural musk is virtually unobtainable. Edible synthetic and plant-based musk compounds are available through specialty websites.
