The beneficial, medicinal and therapeutic properties of mastic have been known since ancient times.
The tear of the pistacia lentiscus (pistacia lentiscus var. Chia), derived exclusively from the tree of the pistacio genus, cultivated on the Greek island of Chios and nowhere else in the world, is patiently and with a great deal of effort collected by the local growers. The Mastic Liqueur by the Kardasis family is produced from this particular tear.
 
The Mastic Liqueur pleasantly brings out the unique mastic aroma and, in combination with its sweet and crystal taste, serves as an excellent aperitif.
It is served iced, without water or with a slice of lime, before or after a meal, or can be used to make unique cocktails.
