It&#8217;s the world&#8217;s first natural chewing gum! Since antiquity, mastic has been recognized for its aroma and its therapeutic benefits. It is also used in gastronomy and cosmetic products, which gives it a high commercial value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chios mastic is also a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Geographical_indications_and_traditional_specialities_in_the_European_Union\">Protected Designation of Origin<\/a> (PDO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The tree<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The mastic tree, also called lenticus or Pistacia Lentiscus var. Chia is an evergreen 2 to 3 meter tall tree that can live for over 100 years. It grows very slowly and it is considered developed after around 40 to 50 years. The tree begins to produce mastic after 5 years. Its productivity is maximum from the 15th year then it decreases sharply from the age of 70. The average annual production per tree is between 150 and 180 grams, but there are extreme cases where a tree can produce up to 2 kilos and others where the yield can be only 10g per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1018\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Arbres-\u00e0-mastiha-1018x679.jpg\" alt=\"Mastiha or mastic trees on the island of Chios\" class=\"wp-image-4002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Arbres-\u00e0-mastiha-1018x679.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Arbres-\u00e0-mastiha-679x453.jpg 679w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Arbres-\u00e0-mastiha-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Arbres-\u00e0-mastiha-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Arbres-\u00e0-mastiha-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Arbres-\u00e0-mastiha-1018x679@2x.jpg 2036w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Arbres-\u00e0-mastiha-679x453@2x.jpg 1358w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Arbres-\u00e0-mastiha-1536x1024@2x.jpg 3072w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Arbres-\u00e0-mastiha-1920x1280@2x.jpg 3840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1018px) 100vw, 1018px\" \/><figcaption>Mastic trees on the island of Chios<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The mastic tree is hardy and can grow in infertile, arid soils and in severe drought conditions thanks to its roots extending into the soil. On the other hand, it is very sensitive to cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trees of this family are found in other Mediterranean countries, but it is only in the south of the island of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/en\/area-chios\/\">Chios<\/a> that these form <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/en\/mastihashop\/mastiha-tears-box-20g-142\">mastic &#8220;tears&#8221;<\/a>. They are cultivated in the villages of the mastic called Mastihohoria in Greek (Mesta, Armolia, Pyrgi among others), where the climate is particularly hot and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The production<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before \u00ab\u00a0kentros\u00a0\u00bb<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, mastic production has been a family job that lasts all year and has not changed over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growers start by fertilizing trees and removing unnecessary branches for better air and light circulation so the resin can dry out. Before scratching the tree, they should remove all other plants around the trunk and clean it. They sweep and cover a ray around the trunk with white earth (thanks to CaCO3 &#8211; limestone &#8211; which does not react). They then scrape the ground to be smoothed out when they pick up the &#8220;tears.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u00ab\u00a0kentros\u00a0\u00bb<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Then it is the &#8220;kentros&#8221; stage, which is the scraping of the trunk with a tool called &#8220;kentitiri&#8221;, which begins in July and can last until the end of September. Growers begin to cut the bark superficially from the top of the trunk to the main branches. The resin falls to the ground in the form of a drop, hence the name &#8220;tears&#8221;. The resin appears in a liquid, viscous form that sticks. She&#8217;s transparent when she comes out of the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1018\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/maxresdefault-4-1018x573.jpg\" alt=\"Resin flowing from a tree in Mastiha of the island of Chios in Greece\" class=\"wp-image-859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/maxresdefault-4-1018x573.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/maxresdefault-4-679x382.jpg 679w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/maxresdefault-4.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1018px) 100vw, 1018px\" \/><figcaption>Mastic tree<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After 15 to 20 days, the resin dries and becomes solid. The shape of each \u201ctear\u201d is obviously different. It crystallizes, which allows growers to harvest and clean it to produce the natural Chios mastiha. They collect the larger pieces and the remains are swept up and picked up by hand. The colour after solidification is yellowish, but it fades over time and due to oxidation. Normally this process is repeated a second time during the same season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The last stages<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the pieces of mastic are placed in wooden boxes and kept in a cool place where they will be carefully cleaned for delivery to the Cooperative of Producers of Mastiha. This association concentrates the total production of mastiha, ensuring the processing of the product, packaging and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1018\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mastiha-2-1018x679.jpg\" alt=\"Mastiha resin from the Greek island of Chios\" class=\"wp-image-857\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mastiha-2-1018x679.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mastiha-2-679x453.jpg 679w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mastiha-2.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/www.poupadou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/mastiha-2-679x453@2x.jpg 1358w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1018px) 100vw, 1018px\" \/><figcaption>Sun-dried Mastic resin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Chios mastic has been known since ancient times for its pharmaceutical qualities due to its multiple components, less than a hundred of which have an amount that can be detected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pedanius_Dioscorides\">Dioscorides<\/a>, the founder of pharmacology, was the first to understand its properties.

It is an effective way to relieve stomach pain, such as stomach upset and problems with dyspepsia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, mastic has anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory action, it is an antioxidant and it contributes to oral hygiene. Other publications have highlighted its healing qualities without side effects for dermatitis and skin discoloration.
