Best Answer

the civet absolute is

A phenolic, acidic, musky character used sparingly in natural flavors as it is a very powerful product. It is impossible to get kosher certification on this product. The production yield of this material seems to be enhanced by the mistreatment of the animals; therefore, animal rights activists have championed the civet cats' cause. Use of this material is much more widespread in fragrances than in flavors.
