Keep out of reach of children. Choking hazard. May contain traces of soy. Elma chewing gum contains natural Chios gum mastic and mastic oil. For this reason, taste and smoothness may vary.
Mastica Elma Chewing Gum Cinnamon combines Chios mastiha with a sugar-free gum base and cinnamon flavour. Mastiha is a natural resin traditionally chewed to freshen the mouth, and it is still mainly used for oral freshness and general mouth comfort.
The added cinnamon gives the gum a warmer flavour than the plain version, while xylitol and the other sweeteners keep it sugar free. Chios mastiha has also been studied for oral and digestive use, which helps explain why it is often sold as more than just a flavoured gum. If you like a slightly spiced finish, this version is the one to look at.
