<h2 class="font-serif text-3xl md:text-4xl font-bold text-dark mb-6">The Ancient Secret of Chios</h2>
<p class="text-slate-600 mb-4">For over 2,500 years, the unique mastic trees of Chios have produced a precious resin known as mastic gum. This natural treasure was so valued in ancient times that it was worth its weight in gold.</p>
<p class="text-slate-600 mb-4">The mastic trees grow exclusively in the southern part of Chios, where the combination of volcanic soil and Mediterranean climate creates the perfect conditions for this remarkable substance.</p>
<p class="text-slate-600">ELMA brings you this ancient wellness secret in its purest form, directly from the mastic villages of Chios where harvesting techniques have been passed down through generations.</p>

<h2 class="font-serif text-3xl md:text-4xl font-bold text-dark mb-6">The Harvesting Process</h2>
<p class="text-slate-600 mb-4">Mastic harvesting is a labor of love that requires precision and patience. Each summer, farmers make small incisions in the bark of the mastic trees, allowing the resin to slowly seep out.</p>
<p class="text-slate-600 mb-4">Over 15-20 days, the droplets of resin harden into "tears" which are then carefully collected by hand. This traditional method ensures the highest quality mastic while preserving the health of the trees.</p>
<p class="text-slate-600">The collected mastic is then cleaned and sorted by size and quality, with only the finest pieces selected for ELMA products.</p>
