Kleos Mastiha: The Spirit of Ancient Greece, Reimagined
At The Greek Providore, we are always proud to share products that reflect the heart and soul of Greece. One of the most unique additions to our collection is Kleos Mastiha, a spirit that takes us back to the ancient island of Chios, where the rare and mystical mastiha resin has been harvested for centuries.
What is Mastiha?
Mastiha is a resin collected from the mastiha tree, which grows only in Chios, Greece. Its history dates back over 2,500 years, when it was prized for its medicinal and culinary uses. The ancient Greeks valued mastiha for its digestive benefits, and it became known as a "tear of joy" due to its drop-like formation on the bark of the trees. Over time, its refreshing pine-like aroma and subtle herbal flavour earned it a special place in Greek culture, not only as a health remedy but also as a luxury product.
