What Is Mastic Chewing Gum? Gum that lasts forever!

Mastic chewing gum is a 100% natural, vegetable-based product. It is crafted from the resin of the Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia, a tree that grows exclusively in the southern region of Chios, Greece. Often referred to as "the tears of Chios" or "the chewing gum of antiquity," mastic has been valued for thousands of years for its unique aromatic profile and significant health benefits.
