Greek Mastic from Chios
Mastic, or mastiha, is a natural resin that grows on only one island in the world: Chios. At Greek Flavours you can buy authentic Chios mastic online, shipped from Greece to the United States, in its natural crystals and in the products made from it.
What Mastic Is
Mastic is the crystallized sap of the mastic tree, harvested by hand on southern Chios, where it holds a PDO. It has a clean, pine-like, slightly sweet aroma and has been used for flavor, chewing, and wellness for thousands of years.
How to Use Mastic
Grind the natural crystals with a little sugar and add a pinch to baking, custards, ice cream, and bread for a distinctive aroma. Mastic also flavors the classic spoon sweet known as a submarine, along with chewing gum and drinks. You will also find mastic in oil, tea, and cosmetics.
