Dried Mastic Berries from Sardinia
Wild-harvested across the Mediterranean landscapes of Sardinia, mastic berries are a raw material with a distinctive aromatic identity and a strong sense of place.
Intended for distilleries, craft laboratories, cosmetic companies, herbalists, and professional botanical projects, they are carefully selected and processed while preserving the authentic character of wild harvesting.
Available in dried, powdered, and other derived formats.
Origin and Collection
Between Mediterranean scrubland, wind, and dry soils, mastic trees grow wild in some of the most distinctive landscapes of Sardinia.
Harvesting is carried out with careful attention to the plant’s natural cycles and to the selection of the raw material. Each batch retains its own characteristics — colour, aromatic intensity, and subtle nuances that reflect its place of origin.
Not a standardized product, but a botanical ingredient that retains its natural character.

-
