Can I take an educated guess and say itâs rare and very labor intensive?

What a labor intensive process. Hats off to these folks

You can put 2 drops of this stuff in any food and the smell alone will take you to heaven.
This stuff is crazy delicious in desserts and the elasticity impact it has on the texture makes it even more appealing.
Try it in ice cream for example.

I never heard of this mastic resin...so I wasn't expecting people to be eating it! Makes me wonder who the first brave person was to stick tree ooze in their mouth?

Use of mastic is prevalent in other nearby areas such as Lebanon and Turkey as well. Mastic favored gum from Lebanon has a unique flavor and is exported to north America as well

I am currently chewing on this - was a great gum fan but they only use plastic in chewing gum, so this is a natural alternative and the taste devides humanity. I personally love it! it is expensive, yes, but you need way less of this product to consume in a day!

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

Why not just lay down a tarp to collect the resin droplets instead of sifting through the dirt?
213 |
You'd think after thousands of years of doing this, they'd figure out a better way to catch the resin, rather than just letting it fall to the ground, picking it it up with a bunch of leaves and dirt, and having to sift through all of it to separate the resin from the debris

Thousands of years of tradition. Antibacterial, aromatic, anti inflammatory and used in a multitude of applications.
Yes a type of mastic tree grows in other parts of the world but not the same species or with the unique features of the Chios variety.

Great work goes behind the scene. Really appreciate your video.

Imagine if that tree were in Japan? The price would be 10 times that.

In English, another word for chew is "masticate." Masticate comes from the Late Latin masticÄre, meaning âto chew,â from the Greek mastikhan, âto grind the teeth.â 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.

What a coincidence! Just before this video appeared in my feed, I was just checking the mastiha and frankincense infused skin oil I am making. It smells divine! I also chewed on some mastiha earlier during the day.

I know it's nowhere near as expensive but in North America you can find what's colloquially called, Pitch Pines and if you make one incision into the tree with your knife it'll release a pitch like sap which can be used as fuel for fire starting, for sealing an open wound, waterproofing canoes and kayaks, in torches or as the name suggests, Pitch. It also can be used to extract pine tar for its fragrance.

I was going to buy some Mastic Gum and I found this video. Thanks for showing us the process I will have a greater appreciation from now on.
