Mastic Oil from Chios - A Natural Treasure
Discover the Essence of Chios
Mastic Oil, known as "Mastiha Oil," is a rare and precious extract derived from the resin of the Mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia), which flourishes exclusively on the Greek island of Chios. For over 2,500 years, the people of Chios have harvested this extraordinary resin, revered since ancient times for its unique properties and health benefits.

The production of Mastic Oil is a time-honored tradition passed down through generations of Chios islanders. The resin is carefully gathered by hand from the Mastic trees, known as "Schinos," which grow only in the southern part of Chios. This ancient practice, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, ensures the purity and authenticity of every drop of Mastic Oil.
