About the product

Raw small mastic tears with a distinctive, gently piney flavour. The pack is in a metal tin featuring motifs of the island of Chios and the PDO designation.

Mastic gum is the natural resin of the lentisk tree (Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia), which grows in the south of the Greek island of Chios. The resin flows from cuts in the bark and hardens in the air into drops – tears. Chios mastic carries the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), and the traditional method of its cultivation is inscribed on the UNESCO list.

Small crystals are harvested using traditional, environmentally friendly methods that ensure the purity and quality of the resin. Chewing mastic gum freshens the breath and is a traditional part of oral care.

Usage

Chew approx. 1–2 g daily, for 10–15 minutes.

  1. 1Chew approximately 1–2 g daily, for 10–15 minutes.
