About the product: Mastic gum, or Mastiha is a resin obtained from the Mastic trees in the island of Chios (Eastern Greece). The Mastic trees produce "tears" which are usually dried on the tree, collected by hand and, either packed as crystals, or ground to a powder. Mastiha has a distinctive aroma, a taste that resembles to some degree to pine and licorice, and a herbal aftertaste.

Mastiha's distinctive flavor becomes refreshing when chewed, this is why it has been chewed since the antiquity; it was the original chewing gum. Only large pieces must be chewed as they are softer inside and the small pieces are hard as rocks. Mastiha has proven health benefits and for centuries it has been used for gum and oral health, and for pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations.
