What Is Chukum?

Chukum is a natural stucco originating from the Yucatán Peninsula, made by blending limestone with the resin of the Havardia albicans tree. This ancient Mayan technique has become a signature of high-end design in Mérida—known for its earthy matte texture, soft color variation, and thermal performance.
