Pure Greek Chios Mastic Gum (Pistacia Lentiscus) - Normal Size Tears
Why Our Chios Mastic Gum?
We source only premium, fresh-harvest Greek Chios mastic gum directly from certified growers. By eliminating middlemen and avoiding diluted blends, we provide pure, authentic resin with maximum freshness and potency.
What is Chios Mastic Gum?
Greek Mastic Gum, also known as Mastiha, is a rare and natural resin harvested exclusively from the Pistacia Lentiscus (var. Chia) tree. These unique trees grow only in the southern region of the island of Chios, Greece.
What’s Special About Our Mastic?
For thousands of years, Mastic Gum has been treasured as a natural remedy and a sacred ingredient. Once worth its weight in gold, it is still hand-collected and sun-dried using traditional methods passed down through generations.
Our fresh harvest ensures the gum remains soft, aromatic, and rich in natural active compounds, including its well-researched antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Natural Chewing Gum Alternative*: Once chewed and hardened, Mastiha becomes a clean, sugar-free gum that promotes fresh breath and supports oral hygiene.

Culinary Ingredient: Perfect for desserts, sweet breads, syrups, and ice cream, adding a signature herbal, pine-like flavor.

*Because this is a 100% natural resin, the gum can be softer at times, especially during warmer months. If your Mastiha feels too soft to chew, simply air it out in a cool, dry place for a short period to allow the tears to re-harden to their classic crystalline state.
