Authentic Chios Mastiha in crystal form (tears) is a true culinary treasure!
Sourced exclusively from the mastic trees of Chios, it captivates with its unique, resinous and slightly refreshing aroma. Its flavour is delicate, woody and unmistakably distinctive, adding a touch of Greek tradition to every creation.
In the available European references concerning botanical health claims, natural Chios Mastiha resin is associated with maintaining gastrointestinal health and supporting oral hygiene.
Where to use it
Mastiha is the ultimate secret ingredient of Greek cuisine and confectionery:
-
- Natural Chewing Gum: It can be chewed directly as a 100% natural alternative to chewing gum, without sugar, sweeteners or synthetic additives.
- Doughs & Baked Goods: An essential flavouring for traditional Greek Easter tsoureki, Vasilopita, Smyrna-style biscuits and sweet bread rolls.
- Desserts & Creams: It lends its classic, beloved flavour to kaimaki ice cream, rice pudding, galaktoboureko, panna cotta, Turkish delight and the traditional Greek “submarine” spoon sweet.
- Beverages & Drinks: Ideal for making homemade Mastiha liqueur or flavouring Greek coffee by adding a very small amount of powder while it is brewing.
- Savoury Recipes: In small quantities, it pairs surprisingly well with lemon-based sauces for chicken or pork, as well as with original salad dressings.
Tip: To grind Mastiha easily into a fine powder without it becoming sticky, place the tears in the freezer for 15–20 minutes before grinding them with a mortar and pestle or in a blender. When frozen, Mastiha becomes brittle like glass and breaks apart instantly!
