Chios Mastiha
What is Mastiha?
Mastiha is the natural and rare tree resin of the pistacia lentiscus var
Chia tree. Scientific research has shown that this resin
has anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory qualities. It
has been documented from antiquity for its health benefits, its use as
the first natural chewing gum and as a cooking spice. Today, it is still
chewed as well as used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and in the
culinary world. Chios Mastiha contributes to a healthy gastrointestinal
system and has beneficial effects for both oral hygiene and skin care.
Chios Mastiha is protected by the European Union as a Protected
Designation of Origin (PDO) product. This distincion recognizes the
name of a specific region or country where a specific agricultural
product originates exclusively due to the geographical environment.
This includes the natural and human factors and production, alteration
and processes which take place in the delineated geographical area. All
PDO products bear the EU symbol designating them as such.
Chewing Chios Mastiha is a truly unique experience. To create your own
natural piece of gum, select a few medium pieces of the resin, or
combine a small piece with a large one. The larger pieces tend to be
softer than the small ones, so it is recommended that one chew a mixture
rather than chew only the small, hard pieces. Before chewing, let the
pieces moisten in your mouth. Mastiha may taste a bit bitter at first,
but that taste fades into a light herbal flavor. Begin chewing
and Mastiha becomes a white silky color. The resin keeps its hard
texture indefinitely and this is precisely why it is recommended for gum
health and amazingly clean teeth! Keep chewing the gum for a half hour
in order to gain all the therapeutic benefits.
