Chios Mastic

Chios Mastiha is the natural resin that is excreted from the trunk and branches of the plant "schinos" - the Greek name for the mastiha tree. This product is unique in the world, because mastiha-yielding trees flourish only in a specific region of the island, the so-called Mastiha villages. By incising the bark with a sharp pointed instrument, mastiha appears in the incision in the form of tears and exudes in droplets onto the soil. While it is flowing, it is a gummy, transparent liquid, but in 15 days it solidifies in irregular shapes. This product is unique in the world, because mastiha-yielding trees flourish only in a specific region of the island, the so-called Mastiha villages. Chios Mastiha has been identified as PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) in order to protect its unique place of origin. It is used in cooking, confectionery, beverage making, pharmaceutics and cosmetology. Its numerous beneficial properties for the human body makes it invaluable.
