Skinos Mastiha Liqueur is a unique and distinct spirit that originates from the Greek island of Chios. It is made from the resin of the Mastiha tree, also known as the “tears of Chios.” The resin is extracted by scoring the bark of the tree, allowing it to ooze out and harden into tears. These tears are then cleaned, purified, and infused in alcohol to create Skinos Mastiha Liqueur.
