Live Resin is a concentrate obtained from freshly frozen rather than dried plant material. The trick: immediate freezing preserves a particularly high number of terpenes – and thus an intense, fresh aroma.
How is Live Resin made?
Instead of drying and curing the plant after harvest, it is immediately frozen. The material is then processed in this fresh, frozen state. This prevents the delicate terpenes from being lost through drying and storage, and instead they are almost completely transferred to the concentrate.
Why is Live Resin so popular?
Because of its taste. Terpenes are responsible for aroma and smell, and Live Resin preserves them better than most other methods. The result is a concentrate that comes very close to the aroma of the living plant – for many connoisseurs, the epitome of flavor-intensive dabbing.
Live Resin and other concentrates
Compared to classic Shatter or Wax, Live Resin focuses on aroma. The name sometimes leads to confusion with Resin (the general term for resin) or Rosin (extracted with heat and pressure) – but each refers to something different.
