Mastiqua Mastiha Sparkling Water 330 ml — Case of 12, Glass

Mastiqua starts with Greek spring water and adds mastiha, the aromatic resin collected from mastic trees on the island of Chios. Mastiha carries protected-origin status, and it is the whole reason this water tastes the way it does.

The spring water itself is moderately mineral, about 250 mg/L, and the finished pH of 4.5 comes from the mastiha rather than the source. In the glass it is sparkling, with a faint herbal, resinous aroma and a dry lift that is never sweet. Serve it well chilled as an aperitif, in place of a soft drink, or alongside Greek and Mediterranean food: grilled octopus, feta, olives, lemon potatoes.

The 330 ml glass bottle suits a Greek taverna, a hotel bar or a dinner party where something unusual is welcome. Order Mastiqua mastiha sparkling water by the case of 12.
