Strain Spotlight: Biscotti

Some strains talk the talk, others walk the walk, and then there are a few special ones capable of both. Biscotti borrows its name from the classy confection originating from the Tuscan region of Italy, often paired with dessert wine and served at chic gatherings across the world. The strain has certainly done its best to bolster the Biscotti name, gaining a reputation as a world-class variety among cannabis connoisseurs and spawning a legion of phenotypes bred by ambitious growers looking to evolve these revered genetics. Biscotti was created by the influential Northern-California growers collective, The Cookies Fam by crossing Gelato x Florida OG. Technically a grandchild of Thin Mint Cookies, Biscotti is one of the most successful variants to be derived from Cookies lineage, generating a long-lived interest from cannabis partakers and a laundry list of awards on the competitive circuit. When grown optimally, Biscotti sports dense, purple nuggets accentuated with robust orange-red hairs and emits a refined sweet-and-earthy aroma consistent with what one would expect from Cookies-grade genetics. This heavily indica-leaning variety boasts a complex terpene profile anchored by beta-caryophyllene and linalool directly contributing to its intriguing flavor profile. Let’s take a look at some of our current Biscotti offerings on the EWC menu: For our flower fanatics we have two unique selections holding it down in Papa’s Herb’s Biscotti (25.30% THC) and Redwood Remedies’ Biscotti Sherbet (28.55% THC).
