Liqueur mastic tears of Lesvos 70cl

The mastic plant, Chinos (Pistacia lentiscus var. chia), is an evergreen shrub 2-3 meters tall that lives for over 100 years.

Before the process begins, weeds, leaves and soil are removed from the area. Then, we proceed to the "bleaching", that is to say that we cover the cleaned earth with white earth, finely sifted, collected in the vicinity of the island of Lesvos (Chios), so that she is ready to receive the tears of putty. Shrub engraving, or "embroidery", is an art that has remained largely unchanged for centuries. A sharp tool, the "embroider", is used.

Harvesting must be completed before the first rains and processing continues at home. The mastic is sifted to remove leaves and soil and washed with a natural soap based on olive oil. Large and medium tears are cleaned with a knife or a needle before being delivered to market.

Here we have a very elegant and aromatic distillation of mastic extract with a smooth and very fresh aftertaste.

To drink very fresh as a digestive, in a liqueur glass or in a cocktail after dinner.
