What Strain Is Gelato?

The Gelato strain is a hybrid of Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Cookies, produced by the California-based breeding collective known as the Cookies Family. This Indica-dominant cannabis cultivar yields, flavorful buds that are extremely resinous. It’s famous for its striking bag appeal, exotic aroma, and soothing.

Gelato Strain Info

Gelato’s story began when two California-based cannabis growers, Jigga and Sherbinski, were introduced by a mutual friend. The two growers soon hit it off and decided to try breeding a cannabis strain together.

Jigga harvested some Burmese Blackberry Kush pollen and pollinated an OG Kush plant from Sherbinski, thus creating the Pink Panties strain. This Indica-dominant hybrid was highly and flavorful but produced a meager yield.

One of the Pink Panties plants was a male and, before Sherbinski had the chance to isolate it from the other plants in the garden, it pollinated Jigga’s Thin Mint Cookies cut. Sherbinski was disappointed, but he decided to germinate some of the seeds from this unintended pollination. One of the most popular phenotypes on the market would come from this batch of seeds: Sunset Sherbet.

Armed with two top-tier cultivars, Thin Mint Cookies and Sunset Sherbet, Sherbinski and Jigga started an extensive breeding program. They crossed these two plants, sprouted hundreds of seeds, and selected only the most elite Gelato phenotypes of the resulting cross, naming them Gelato 25, Gelato 33, Gelato 41, Gelato 42, and Gelato 45.

Gelato 33 was the best of the five plants, providing a solid yield of deep purple and green buds that were as aromatic as they were. This cultivar quickly became a hit, and growers and users around the globe now treasure its luscious flavor and blissful.
