Thalassa Spices Chios Mastiha Powder - 20g

About the product

This is 100% ground mastiha from Chios, the resin harvested from the mastic tree and processed into a fine powder. It carries an earthy, pine-like flavour that is distinct from other spices, so it is used in small quantities rather than as a bulk ingredient. Common applications include pastry dough for Greek sweets such as kourabiedes and tsoureki, as well as bread recipes where a small amount adds a recognisable aromatic note. It also works mixed into Greek yogurt.

Instructions

Use between 1/4 and 1/2 teaspoon of mastiha powder per recipe as a starting point, then adjust to taste since the flavour is strong relative to the amount used. Add it directly into pastry dough for sweets like kourabiedes or tsoureki, incorporate it into bread dough for aroma, or stir a small amount into Greek yogurt. Store in a sealed container at room temperature, away from moisture and direct light.
