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.

Citrus-forward Limonene leads a complex terpene profile of pine, floral, and diesel notes. Effects run euphoric, creative, focused, and relaxed — versatile enough for any time of day. A multi-award winner (2x High Times Cannabis Cup, 8x Farmers Cup), this is a benchmark hybrid worth trying.
