Chios Mastic Powder for Cooking, packaging of 1.76 oz, 50gr, Greek, 100% Natural, Pure, Mastiha from the Chios Gum Mastic Growers Association

This is a spice that is used in traditional greek breads from the island of Cyprus. I found it to be a little stronger in flavor than the one that came from the island of Cyprus (which I cannot get in the US), next time I make the "village bread" I will use a little less and hopefully that will do it. I usually use 1/4 t. per bread recipe a tiny less as I do not wish to loose the flavor. This spice is used in conjunction with ground "mehlepi" traditionally you do not use one without the other. To get an idea, in 3-1/2 cups of flour, I use 1/4 t. each of the two spices. I do not know how to use this spice any other way. These are the traditional greek spices that I remember as I was growing up. I feel so fortunate to be able to get them here in the US.

Very good product

I’m absolutely loving this spice. I use it for my Armenian Sweet Bread ( Choreg)

I've been trying to recreate a mint called a Ben Hur that's been discontinued. One of the ingredients is Mastic flavoring. I thought this would work but it didn't quite make it, but it still has a nice light flavor.

nice consistency for baking not very aromatic but flavor does come thru on baked bread

Taste is very very faint, compared to natural 100% mastic

I make bread, cake and ice cream

Ive not used it yet for cooking. Ive tasted and smelled just the powder and it's really not potent at all. Im not sure if I will use it. Maybe if I use it in cooking some flavor and scent will come out?
