As its name implies, this strain tastes like sweet vanilla gelato (Italian ice cream) but don’t let the smooth flavour fool you. Discreet medicating with Gelato is best done in private because of its powerful Indica effects. This strain relaxes the user with heavy full-body sensations that often end in couchlock and sleep. Gelato is a cross of Una Una, a potent Sativa from Italy’s legendary DNA Genetics company, and Sunset Sherbet, another popular California strain with roots to the original OG Kush.

The name “Gelato” comes from one of our favourite Italian desserts – sweet and tasty ice cream with flavourings mixed into it instead of extracts like traditional American ice creams that only offer vanilla or chocolate flavours. The goal was to develop a balanced hybrid that leaned more towards Indica side effects instead of the heady uplifting high most commonly associated with Sativa plants. We wanted to keep all the flavorful elements intact while also delivering solid pain relief along with mellow relaxation.
