Mastic Marquee

Direct from the Greek island of Chios is a treat for all. Mastic Gum (a natural resin from the Pistacia lentiscus tree which is found on the Island of Chios in Greece) is used to create a variety of delicious products and will be available to taste on both days.

The general antimicrobial effect of mastic has been historically known to medical practitioners for thousands of years; now come and have a taste for yourself. We would like to thank the Chios Government, Chios Gum Mastic Growers Association and all other suppliers that helped put this together. Special thanks to Mr. Nikos Nyktas and Ms. Efi Lipari.
