Chios Mastiha is one of the most recognizable and historic Greek PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) products, with unique characteristics that are owed exclusively to the special geographic environment and traditional cultivation of southern Chios. It is an aromatic resin that is secreted in the form of “tears” from the trunk and branches of the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia), an evergreen shrub, and it is known worldwide for its aroma, taste, and therapeutic properties.

Προϊοντα ΠΟΠ, ΠΓΕ, ΕΠΙΠ
Throumba of Chios is an exceptional table olive variety, which has been recognized as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product by the European Union, a fact that seals its unique quality and its unbreakable bond with the island of Chios. It is a naturally processed, dry, black olive that acquires its characteristic taste and texture directly on the tree, thanks to the special soil and climatic conditions and the traditional method of harvesting and processing. The uniqueness of the product lies in the self-debittering of the fruit, a natural process that results in an olive with soft, wrinkled flesh and a sweet, mildly salty taste, making it a distinctive product of Greek gastronomy and diet.
