Chios Mastic Powder

Chios mastic powder is a high-quality natural resin, ground into a fine form for immediate incorporation into doughs, creams, ice creams, and premium sweet preparations. It comes exclusively from the Chios mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus var. chia) and is a product with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). Its fine grind offers immediate dissolution, uniform distribution, and maximum aromatic intensity.

The Material We Use

We use 100% authentic Chios mastic, ground into a fine powder, with no additives. Its color is a light, translucent yellowish tint, with a natural crystalline texture and a clear shine. Its aromatic intensity remains consistent with every use.
