Authentic Mastic Gum from the Greek Island of Chios
The aromatic and air dried resinous sap from the tree pistacia lentiscus is known as the first natural chewing gum in the world. The mastic tree grows solely on the southern shores of Chios. Once dried, the tears are ideal for cocktails, ice creams, and used in an array of traditional medical practices.
Our mastic is one hundred percent an all natural product from the protected designation of origin. Chios mastisha does not contain any fillers, additives or additional ingredients.
Appearance should be transparent or opaque with crystalline granules in varying teardrop shapes and sizes. The color will be off-white to yellowish. This aromatic and resinous matter comes from the sap of pistacia lentiscus var, an evergreen related to the pistachio tree. It can be used as a dinner digestive, in cakes, spirits, beverages and nutritional products.
Elegant, bold and aromatic, mastiha is used in both sweet and savory dishes. In Greece, Turkey and other parts of the Middle East, mastic has been used in cooking, baking, medicinal, and liquors. Medicinally, these tear drops of flavor have been shown to alleviate a number of issues such as digestive and oral conditions. The use of Chios mastiha is so well documented that it is recognized by the European Food Safety Authority, EFSA.
The word mastic coming from mastication meaning chewing but it can be used for more than just fresh breath. Chios mastiha can be used in food by freezing and grinding in a blender ( be sure to not blend on too high or too long as the blender will heat up the resin) or by hand with a mortar and pestle. It is commonly mixed with sugar or salt for seasoning and flavor. Most famously mastiha is used in tsoureki (Greek Easter bread), Mastic ice cream and Turkish delight candies. Egyptian cooking often uses mastic in chicken dishes paired with spices like cinnamon or cardamom. It is neither herb nor spice but a beneficial flavor resin.
The bold and aromatic character are due to the concentrated resinous nature of the product. Mastic can be described as delicately piney with notes of fennel, lemon zest, anise and even mint. The flavor is refreshing but can be easily overpowered in spice mixes. Try some today and let us know what you think. The all natural tears of Chios

Mastiha
Great product well packaged. Will buy again. Make extra certain that you don't leave this resin in a hot car, as it will melt and reform to whatever container you have it in. Guess who did that. Lol
Best Mastic organic gum you can find ever
Let me start by saying that i haven’t taste or smell the original Mastic gum in years until i bought it from this professional and easy to navigate Slofood group website. Shipping was fast and on time and once i opened the bag, i can immediately tell from the real nice smell of mastic and it was the best quality and that you can tell from the color of the gum which is light white almost transparent frozen drops. Will definitely buy it again and recommend it to my friends. Thank you!
Fast shipping! It’s definitely an interesting product. Chewy. Not much flavor, but that’s what I was looking for. Didn’t stick to my teeth. Will order again!!
I enjoyed how long the flavor and texture lasted. There is the occasional piece that is very dry and unchewable, but rare. Unusual but good.
Excellent y’all should make bee pollen gums too but a gentle price !!
