Mastic is a resin obtained from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus). It is also known as tears of Chios, being traditionally produced on the island Chios, and, like other natural resins, is produced in “tears” or droplets.

Mastic is excreted by the resin glands of certain trees and dries into pieces of brittle, translucent resin. When chewed, the resin softens and becomes a bright white and opaque gum. The flavor is bitter at first, but after some chewing, it releases a refreshing flavor similar to pine and cedar.

In its hardened form, mastic can be used, like frankincense or Boswellia resin, to produce incense.

Note: Mastic Gum prices have been increasing every season for the last few years, and I expect this to continue into the future. We buy it direct from a member of the Chios Mastiha Growers Association on the Isle of Chios in Greece. The supply of Mastic Gum is limited, and much lower than the demand. Because of this we can’t always get it, so we try to order well in advance. While this makes it an expensive product, our profit margin is the lowest of any product we sell. We hope you understand and continue to support this beautiful, natural product.
