Frequently Asked Questions About Mastic-coated almonds
What are mastic-coated almonds?
Mastic-coated almonds are almonds covered with aromatic mastic, a plant resin used as a flavouring. The coating gives them a distinctive resinous, slightly pine-like aroma that plain almonds do not have.
What does mastic-coated almonds taste like?
Mastic-coated almonds taste nutty, with a resinous, pine-like and slightly herbal note from the mastic. The coating’s sweetness varies by recipe, so the name alone does not mean the almonds are heavily sweetened.
How are mastic-coated almonds made?
Mastic-coated almonds are made by coating almonds with a preparation containing edible mastic. Recipes vary in how they bind the coating and how sweet it is; using mastic sparingly helps keep its strong aroma from overwhelming the almonds.
Are mastic-coated almonds the same as Jordan almonds?
No. Jordan almonds are typically covered in a hard sugar shell, while mastic-coated almonds are defined by their aromatic mastic coating. A particular product may include other coating ingredients, so the two names do not guarantee the same recipe.
Can you eat the mastic coating on mastic-coated almonds?
Yes. The mastic coating is edible and meant to be eaten with the almond; it is not chewing gum that you need to spit out. Its distinctive resinous aroma is part of the snack.
How should you store mastic-coated almonds?
Store mastic-coated almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Heat and humidity can affect the coating, while exposure to air and light can dull the mastic aroma and reduce the almonds’ freshness.
Can you make mastic-coated almonds at home?
Yes, you can make mastic-coated almonds at home with almonds and food-grade mastic. Mastic has a strong flavour, so start with a small amount and aim for an even coating rather than letting the resin dominate the nut.
Are mastic-coated almonds sweet?
Not necessarily; mastic-coated almonds can be lightly sweet or more dessert-like, depending on the recipe. Mastic itself contributes a distinctive resinous aroma, not a reliable measure of how much sugar a product contains.
What can you serve with mastic-coated almonds?
Mastic-coated almonds pair well with coffee or unsweetened tea, which lets their aromatic coating stand out. They can also be served as a small after-dinner treat; strongly flavoured or very sweet accompaniments may compete with the mastic.
Are mastic-coated almonds a healthy snack?
They can be a satisfying snack, but the coating and the almonds together make them energy-dense. Choose a modest portion if you are having them regularly, and remember that mastic-coated almonds are not a substitute for a varied diet.

What is Mastic-coated almonds?
Mastic-coated almonds combine whole almonds with the distinctive, resinous aroma of mastic, a flavour associated with Aegean and eastern Mediterranean cooking. They are enjoyed as a sweet-style snack or confection, though the coating’s sweetness and intensity can vary.
The almonds stay crunchy beneath the fragrant coating, making them a natural companion to coffee or tea and a small offering after a meal. They are energy-dense, with much of their fat coming from almonds; a 100 g portion provides 598 calories. For a lighter snack, keep to a modest handful and pair it with plain tea or coffee rather than another sweet.
