"Also known as Gelato #41, Bacio Gelato is the most popular member of the almighty Gelato line. Bred in San Francisco, this strain packs bold aromas of fruity, creamy desserts and packs the most THC out of all Gelato varieties. Keep reading for an in-depth look at Bacio Gelato, its origins, genetics, growth traits, effects, and more. History of The Bacio Gelato Strain Bacio Gelato was developed by Mario Guzman, founder of Sherbinskis. Now an icon of the cannabis world thanks to his creation of modern classic strains like Sunset Sherbert and the Gelato line it birthed, Mario Guzman had a humble introduction into the weed world. He smoked his first joint at around 12 years old with his sister and, by means of growing up in Northern California, was exposed to high-quality flower all throughout high school. Once he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, Guzman started growing weed to help pay his bills. However, he soon developed a passion for the plant, particularly seeing the effect it could have on the lives of seriously ill people. To date, Mario Guzman's most famous strains are Sunset Sherbet and the Gelato line which continue to be staples of the Sherbinskis brand. However, he has also created a plethora of other strains, many of which were limited releases. These include: • Gushers • Gush Mintz • Black Sherbet • Mimosa • Gelonade Genetic Lineage of Bacio Gelato Also known as Gelato #41, Bacio Gelato is Sherbinski's most popular strain and the most potent of all Gelato varieties. It was created from a cross of Sunset Sherbert and Thin Mint Cookies. Sunset Sherbet is Mario Guzman's flagship creation and the strain with which he first found fame among smokers, medical patients, and other growers/breeders. Combining GSC and Pink Panties, Guzman created a hybrid with exceptionally fruity aromas and decadent, creamy undertones. Taste-test a batch of original Sunset Sherbet from Sherbinskis, and you'll pick up on notes of creamy desserts, dark chocolate, hoppy citrus (think of the scent of a fresh IPA), honey, and spice. Thanks to a strong cannabinoid profile dominated by 27–29% THC, Sunset Sherbet delivers a carefree mental buzz and a warm body stone that inspires moments of blissful relaxation. Thin Mint Cookies, on the other hand, is a unique cut of GSC. Also known as Thin Mint GSC, Thin Mint Cookies was discovered by The Cookies Fam and remains a staple of the now-booming Cookies cannabis brand. As its name suggests, Thin Mint Cookies preserves the earthy, sweet cookie and doughy notes of the original GSC. However, its aroma is characterized by unique fresh mint and menthol overtones. Its dark green, frosty flowers pack up to 24% THC and deliver a deeply relaxing body buzz and a powerfully uplifting euphoria that can be just as good for social settings as introspective solo sessions. Physical Characteristics of Bacio Gelato Bacio Gelato's claim to fame comes from more than just its history and genetic lineage—it also boasts stunning looks. This hybrid strain produces dense, dark nuggets with a beautiful palette of bright and dark greens, deep purples, and orange. Their dense coating of oily trichomes can make Bacio Gelato flowers look almost wet. Talk about bag appeal! Properties/Effects of Bacio Gelato (AKA Gelato #41) Thanks to their stellar genetics and excellent resin production, Bacio Gelato plants can produce buds loaded with up to 32% THC. They also contain 1–2% CBD and a rich mix of terpenes, particularly caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, humulene, and trans-nerolidol. Besides cannabis, these compounds can be found in cinnamon, citrus peels, lavender, and hops. In Bacio Gelato, these delicate compounds combine to instill the strain with a rich aroma that's fruity, creamy, nutty, earthy, and fresh all at once.
