I'm a convert

I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳

Authentic Mastic Gum from the Greek Island of Chios

The aromatic and air dried resinous sap from the tree pistacia lentiscus is known as the first natural chewing gum in the world. The mastic tree grows solely on the southern shores of Chios. Once dried, the tears are ideal for cocktails, ice creams, and used in an array of traditional medical practices.

Our mastic is one hundred percent an all natural product from the protected designation of origin. Chios mastisha does not contain any fillers, additives or additional ingredients.

Appearance should be transparent or opaque with crystalline granules in varying teardrop shapes and sizes. The color will be off-white to yellowish. This aromatic and resinous matter comes from the sap of pistacia lentiscus var, an evergreen related to the pistachio tree. It can be used as a dinner digestive, in cakes, spirits, beverages and nutritional products.

Elegant, bold and aromatic, mastiha is used in both sweet and savory dishes. In Greece, Turkey and other parts of the Middle East, mastic has been used in cooking, baking, medicinal, and liquors. Medicinally, these tear drops of flavor have been shown to alleviate a number of issues such as digestive and oral conditions. The use of Chios mastiha is so well documented that it is recognized by the European Food Safety Authority, EFSA.

The word mastic coming from mastication meaning chewing but it can be used for more than just fresh breath. Chios mastiha can be used in food by freezing and grinding in a blender ( be sure to not blend on too high or too long as the blender will heat up the resin) or by hand with a mortar and pestle. It is commonly mixed with sugar or salt for seasoning and flavor. Most famously mastiha is used in tsoureki (Greek Easter bread), Mastic ice cream and Turkish delight candies. Egyptian cooking often uses mastic in chicken dishes paired with spices like cinnamon or cardamom. It is neither herb nor spice but a beneficial flavor resin.

Most of it was hard and it lasts 3-4 days of each piece I make and it came without being crumbled.

Instantly turned into gooey mess, getting stuck in my teeth and all over my hands as I tried to get it out. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I would not recommend this at all.

Does not compare to my past experiences

Flavor and texture is 100% better than the previous stuff I bought. It’s great to actually have tried the real thing!

Could not use

Prodict was not what I expected at all. Could not be chewed. Maybe it was too old?

IS THIS ACTUALLY CHEWING GUM?

Answers (1)

Slofoodgroup 12/23/2023

No, it is not actual chewing gum in the sense of how people perceive chewing gum today. However, historically speaking, in ancient times it was used as chewing gum by greeks and romans. That is why it is considered the worlds first natural chewing gum.

Hello, I am interested in your mastic gum. I am wondering about how many servings (used for chewing gum) would be in 1 oz? Thank you! Christina

Slofoodgroup L. 08/07/2021

On average 2-3 tears is about the same amount as a stick of gum +\- The tears themselves are medium tears but not two tears are the same as they are naturally formed. Maybe 40-50 tears in an ounce give or take as it is solely sold by weight.
