Tears of Chios

Two faces emerge from the same trunk. Sharing a common gaze and common roots, they tell the story of a relationship that endures through time: the profound connection between humanity and nature, between place and community, between tradition and continuity.

A symbol paying tribute to the “Tears of Chios,” the precious drops of natural resin produced by the renowned mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus var. chia). A unique gift of the Chian land, cultivated for centuries almost exclusively in the Mastic Villages of southern Chios.

Here, the tears of mastic become a symbol of memory, resilience, and collective identity—a living bond between people, the land, and the cultural heritage of the island.
