About the product
Natural large mastic tears from the Greek island of Chios. A pure natural product of outstanding quality for chewing and cooking.
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. The resin, known as “tears of Chios”, has been prized for its unique flavour for centuries.
Large tears have a gentle, slightly piney taste. They are harvested using sustainable methods passed down from generation to generation, which preserves the quality and purity of every tear. Chewing mastic gum freshens the breath and is a traditional part of oral care.
