MASTIHA Chios Mastic Powder 50 g — 100% Natural Greek mastiha powder, ready-to-use for baking & desserts

MASTIHA Chios Mastic Powder is a ready-to-use, 100% natural powdered resin from Chios, designed to add the unique piney, herbaceous aroma of mastiha to sweets, breads, and savory dishes.

Harvested and processed by the Chios Gum Mastic Growers Association, this 50 g (1.76 oz) pouch contains pure Chios mastiha blended with maltodextrin for flow and ease of use. The powder form eliminates the need to grind resin chips or dissolve sticky tears, so it integrates smoothly into batters, creams, and doughs while preserving the characteristic scent and flavor of traditional Greek mastiha.

How do I use MASTIHA powder in everyday cooking?

Use a small amount to scent and flavor a wide range of recipes — from cookies and ice cream to breads and custards. Because the powder is ready to mix, it disperses evenly into both wet and dry mixtures without clumping or sticking.

• Add 1/4–1 tsp to cookie or biscuit dough for subtle aromatic notes.
• Blend 1/8–1/2 tsp into ice cream base or custards for a Mediterranean twist.
• Mix into bread dough or fillings for fragrant savory or sweet loaves.
• Dissolve into syrups or glazing liquids for pastries and confectionery.

What does this mastiha powder consist of and how pure is it?

The product is made from authentic Chios mastiha resin combined with maltodextrin, a naturally derived carrier that improves texture and flow. It contains no sugar, is gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and free from common allergens in its composition.

How will adding MASTIHA change the flavor and aroma of my recipes?

Mastiha brings a distinct aromatic profile—resinous, slightly pine-like with a mild herbal sweetness—that elevates both desserts and savory dishes without overpowering them. A little goes a long way: start with small quantities and adjust to taste for balanced results.

• Gives desserts an exotic, Mediterranean floral-resin note.
• Enhances breads and pastries with a subtle, sophisticated aroma.
• Complements dairy bases like cream, yogurt, and custard.
• Can be paired with citrus, honey, sesame, or nuts for layered flavors.

Is the powdered format better than resin tears for home cooks?

The powdered format is aimed at convenience: it removes preparation steps like grinding or dissolving and reduces sticky handling of solid resin. This makes it practical for bakers, chocolatiers and home cooks who want consistent dosing and easy incorporation.

• Ready-to-use — no pulverizing or warming required.
• Improved solubility and even distribution in mixes.
• Neater portioning with less waste or mess.
• Longer shelf stability when stored in a cool, dry place.

It suits people following gluten-free or vegan diets and anyone wanting an easy, shelf-stable way to incorporate authentic Chios mastiha into small-batch recipes or professional kitchens.
