Chios
Product Description
Greek lemonade with the unmistakable flavour of Mastiha from Chios, on sparkling water.
Real lemon meets the resinous pine-and-cedar note of mastic: the result is sharper and drier than an ordinary lemonade, and finishes clean rather than sweet.
How to enjoy it
Well chilled, straight from the bottle
Over ice with a slice of lemon
As a mixer for ouzo, gin or vodka
With grilled fish, salads and mezedes
Nutritional Components
Naturally flavored mastic water lemonade
Useful Information
History: Mastic is associated with Chios. A cosmopolitan Greek island, a Byzantine monopoly often threatened by pirates. It flourished among the Ionians and was fought over by the Genoese and Venetians. Since the handover to the Ottomans, it has always been the task of the mastiha collectors from Chios to collect the precious resin tears from the tree, which arise after gently scratching the trunk. The same traditional collection method is still used today in each of the 24 medieval villages of Chios, inherited by future generations. Naturally flavoured mastic water is a product of the distillation of pure mastic with steam. The combination of mastic with water is believed to have started four millennia ago in ancient Egypt, where they used this simple but enchanting idea to make drinking water pleasant. Mastic is a natural aromatic crystallised resin, prized since antiquity and used in perfumery and confectionery.
Loved this lemonade after really enjoying my first taste of Mastic on a recent trip to Greece. Only regret is not buying more. Such a great unique taste.
