Chios Mastiha Pack 25gr delivers 100% pure medium-sized mastic tears from Chios — a traditional, sugar-free resin for chewing, culinary uses, and topical rituals.

Harvested on the Greek island of Chios using time-honored methods, Mastic of Chios mastiha is a natural tree resin with a distinctive herbal, slightly piney aroma and a pleasantly chewy texture. This 25 g (0.88 oz) pack contains medium tears — whole resin granules that are easy to portion for tasting, cooking, or bodycare preparations. The product is unsweetened, free from additives, and suitable for vegan and keto lifestyles, offering a compact way to explore an ancient Mediterranean ingredient.

What does medium tear mastic look and taste like?

Medium tears are whole resin pieces roughly the size of small pebbles, with a translucent amber to ivory color and a glossy surface when fresh. The flavor is aromatic and herbal, with resinous, slightly pine-like notes and a mild sweetness that comes through when chewed slowly.

• Pack weight: 25 g (0.88 oz) of whole medium resin tears.
• Visual: amber-to-ivory, slightly translucent granules.
• Sensory: herbal, mildly sweet, resinous aroma and chew.
• Texture: initially brittle, softens into a chewy gum when warmed by the mouth.

How can I use these mastic tears in food and drink?

Mastiha is versatile in the kitchen: grind a small amount into powders or infuse liquids for a subtle resinous note in sweets, ice cream, sauces, and cocktails. Because it’s unsweetened and pure resin, you control the intensity by adjusting quantity and whether you use whole tears, powdered resin, or an infused syrup.

• Grind into powder for baking or sprinkle sparingly over desserts.
• Infuse in warm milk or syrups to flavor ice cream and custards.
• Muddle into craft cocktails or make a simple mastiha syrup for mixers.
• Add to marinades or dressings for an aromatic Mediterranean twist.

Can I chew mastiha for daily refreshment or jaw exercise?

Yes — many people chew mastiha like a gum. The medium tears soften into a pliable resin when warmed in the mouth and provide a long-lasting, sugar-free chew. Chewing can be a flavorful alternative to conventional chewing gum and a way to build bite endurance.

• Start with a small tear; it softens after a few chews.
• Sugar-free and keto-friendly, suitable as an alternative to sweet gums.
• Portable 25 g pack fits pockets or small bags for on-the-go use.
• Use as part of a jaw-exercise routine or casual chewing practice.

How should I store and prepare the mastiha to keep it fresh?

Store the resin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve aroma and texture. If the tears are firm, briefly warm them between your fingers or in the mouth to soften before chewing or grinding; for culinary use, lightly pulverize with a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.

• Storage: airtight container, cool and dark location recommended.
• Softening: gentle hand warming or a few mouth chews.
• Grinding: use a small grinder or mortar for powdering.
• Portioning: use one or two medium tears to begin, adjust to taste.

Who is this for? This 25 g pack of Mastic of Chios medium tears is ideal for food lovers exploring Mediterranean flavors, people seeking a natural, sugar-free chew, and artisans or DIYers wanting a pure resin for topical or culinary experiments. It suits keto and vegan diets, travelers curious about traditional Chios products, and anyone who appreciates compact, all-natural ingredients with a culinary and cultural story.
