Why it's worth it

ELMA is chewing gum made with mastiha, the aromatic resin grown only on the island of Chios and EU-protected. Its slightly piney, herbal flavour is a unique chewing experience beloved for generations, a blend of earthy pine, citrus and herbal notes. There is genuinely no Czech equivalent, making it one of the most distinctly Greek things in the basket.

Taste
