Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chios mastic (mastiha)?
A natural resin obtained from the mastic tree, grown exclusively on the island of Chios, Greece. It forms into crystal-like tears and is known for its distinctive pine-like aroma and wide range of traditional uses — from culinary to wellness.


Why is Chios mastic rare?
It only grows under specific conditions on Chios and is harvested by hand in small quantities during the summer months. This makes it a protected, limited product with a unique regional designation.


What are the benefits of mastic gum?
Traditionally used for oral hygiene, digestive support, and its antimicrobial properties. Best enjoyed as part of a balanced lifestyle.


How do you use mastic gum?
It can be chewed, ground into powder for baking, infused into syrups or spirits, or used to add subtle aromatic flavour to savoury and sweet dishes. A small amount is enough due to its strong, concentrated aroma.


Is mastic gum natural?
Yes. It is a 100% natural plant resin with no additives, artificial processing, or chemical treatment.


Is Chios mastic the same as mastic gum?
Yes. "Mastic gum" is the common name; "Chios mastic" refers specifically to the authentic resin harvested from the island of Chios — the only place in the world where it is produced.


How should I store mastic?
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat. In warm climates, refrigerate to prevent the tears from softening and sticking together.


How can I tell if mastic is authentic?
Authentic Chios mastiha comes from the island of Chios, appears as pale, irregular crystal-like tears, and has a clean, fresh pine-like aroma. Origin traceability is the key indicator of quality.
