Summary/Abstract: The island of Chios produced a number of goodies, among which the famous wine and olive oil. Other products were the masticha and cheese that were exported to the Mediterranean markets. Some of these are documented in ancient Greek and Roman literature, providing evidence about their circulation too. Certain relationships throughout the years explain the intense trade that seems to have existed.
