This tree grows almost anywhere in the Northern Iraq Kurdistan region. We use a different method to collect the resin. After cutting the tree, the farmer will make a small cup shape out of clay and stick it to the tree beneath the cut, the clay cup will slowly fill up after a few days, and the farmer will get a clean small cup full of resin. We use it mostly in Traditional Kurdish gums, and it tastes quite earthy and fragrant, and it's believed to aid with digestion and increasing appetite.

My family is from the island of Chios. They make a form of Ouzo called Mastiha Ouzo that is flavored with mastiha. They immigrants from Chios brough this to the USA in the early 20th century and it became quite popular in western Pennsylvania. I still use Mastiha to flavor vodka or ouzo... Brings back many memories

In English, another word for chew is "masticate." Masticate comes from the Late Latin masticÄre, meaning āto chew,ā from the Greek mastikhan, āto grind the teeth.ā The English word mastic derives from the same Greek word and refers to a type of tree and the resin from it that's used to make rubber and chewing gum!
In other words, it all comes back to this tree.
