Mastiha: The Unique Mastic Gum of Chios People Call ‘White Gold’Mastic, often referred to as the “Tears of Chios” or the “White Gold of Chios,” is a product produced only on that particular Greek island. Since antiquity, this sticky resin, which seeps from the bark of mastic trees, has been harvested not only for its flavor but its therapeutic value as well.Although the mastic tree, also called “lentisk,” is native to many areas in the Mediterranean, its bark only “bleeds” mastic on the island of Chios, making it a truly unique and nearly miraculous product.
