DESCRIPTION
Discover mastic resin! For thousands of years, people in the Mediterranean chewed mastic resin chewing gum not just for pleasure, but to clean the teeth, strengthen the jaw and purify the blood. Ancient Greeks prized it. Ottoman courts scented their breath with it. And it was cited in the Bible. NOW - taste for yourself.
At first bite, mastic releases a piney, resinous flavor which then takes on an herbal quality unique to other chewing gums. The texture softens as you chew, and with it, the flavor mellows—going from bitterness to natural sweetness. What remains is smooth, fresh, and gently woody that modern breath fresheners and chewing gums can only aspire to possess!
Allow to warm in your mouth and chew, store in a clean wrapper, and chew again.

Historical Insights
Historical Insights
Mastic resin is one of the first chewing gums in written history. It appeared in ancient texts, including the Bible. In Daniel, the mastic tree was used to defend the innocence of Susanna against the lecherous elders.
Now then, if thou hast seen her, tell me, Under what tree sawest thou them companying together? Who answered, Under a mastick tree. – Susanna 1:54
The mastic resin comes from the Greek island of Chios where most of the mastic trees grow today.
