Everything you need to know about ELMA authentic Greek mastic gum

What is mastic gum?

Mastic gum is a natural resin obtained from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus), which grows exclusively on the Greek island of Chios. Unlike conventional chewing gum, mastic gum is completely natural, with no artificial ingredients. It has been used for centuries for its health benefits and unique texture.

How is ELMA mastic gum different?

ELMA mastic gum differs from regular chewing gum in several ways:

  • 100% natural with no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or preservatives
  • Lasts much longer (typically 2-3 hours per piece)
  • Offers digestive and oral health benefits
  • Has a unique, slightly pine-like flavor that develops as you chew
  • Becomes softer and more pliable with chewing, unlike conventional gum
