That is interesting and confirms my suspicions that there is rosin and there is unsafe rosin.

While I think New Zealand made rosin would come from pine wood not pulp, no commercial producer is going to tell me if the product uses any toxic chemicals if they get the slightest hint I plan on cooking with it.

I think if you look for "New Zealand artisanal turpentine" you could find a supplier for rosin. For example: https://www.ribbonrose.co.nz/product/65514/langridge-distill...
