Gelato
Broad profile32 listed sources
Gelato is the California dessert hybrid that launched a dynasty. Bred by Cookie Fam Genetics around 2014 from Sunset Sherbet × Thin Mint GSC, this roughly 55/45 indica-leaning hybrid pairs co-dominant caryophyllene and limonene for a high that opens euphoric, creative and talkative before settling into deep body relaxation. Sweet berry-citrus flavor with creamy vanilla and a minty, earthy finish. Potency runs wide — anywhere from 15% to 36% THC depending on the cut. A Leafly Strain of the Year and multi-cup winner, best saved for evening.
