"Best By" Sale!
The Chios Mastiha Powder has a “best by” date of 5/1/22. They are perfectly fine, but we are offering them for 50% off. A “best by” date indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality. It is not a purchase or safety date and is assigned somewhat arbitrarily by the food regulators based on general categories.
Mastiha typically has to be ground in order to use it in cooking. Mastiha powder is already ground, so using it is easy. As a spice, it lends a beguiling undertone, a little piny and a bit incense-like, but earthy, to all manner of foods. It works just as easily as a seasoning in tomato sauce as it does in chocolate sauce, pairs deliciously with all citrus fruits, works in meat, fish and bean dishes and is a seductive addition to breads.
