Mastic

Mastic is a resin obtained from the mastic tree, primarily found in the Mediterranean region. It is commonly used in the production of chewing gum, as well as in traditional medicine and various culinary applications. Mastic has a distinct flavor and aroma, with a slightly pine-like, earthy quality. In addition to its flavoring properties, mastic is valued for its purported health benefits, such as its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
