Local Products of Chios Local Products

Chios is an island that has been
blessed with fertile soil and an excellent Mediterranean climate which favours the production of a variety of quality products.

The journeys and experiences of its seamen facilitated the promotion of
Chian products to other lands from early on in time, assisting in the exchange
of knowledge and the introduction
of new ideas (production, processing,
and packaging) from all over the world. Mastic obviously played the lead role!

Everyone knows that this unique product, with its amazing properties and numerous uses,
is solely produced on this island.

Make sure you stock up with mastic products, according to your needs and tastes, before you leave the island.
