The Intricate Process of Terpene Extraction

At Mello Cannabis, we’re passionate about delivering the highest quality products to our customers. One of the key aspects of cannabis production that sets us apart is our focus on terpene preservation and extraction. These aromatic compounds play a crucial role in the overall experience and potential benefits of cannabis consumption.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinctive aromas and flavors associated with different cannabis strains. Moreover, terpenes are believed to contribute to the entourage effect, potentially enhancing the therapeutic properties of cannabinoids.

The Extraction Process

At our Mello Cannabis Dispensary in MA, we employ cutting-edge techniques to extract and preserve terpenes. Here’s a brief overview of our process:

Harvesting: Timing is crucial. We harvest our plants at peak terpene production.
Flash-freezing: Immediately after harvest, we flash-freeze the plant material to prevent terpene degradation.
Extraction: We use a specialized low-temperature, solventless extraction method to preserve the delicate terpene profile.
Purification: The extracted terpenes undergo a careful purification process to remove any unwanted plant materials.
Storage: Proper storage in airtight, light-resistant containers ensures terpene stability.
