Apple Jelly

Overview of Live Resin

Liquid live resin is a cannabis extract made from plants that are flash-frozen immediately after harvest. This method preserves more cannabinoids and terpenes than traditional dried–flower extraction, resulting in a more flavorful and aromatic concentrate.

Strain Profile: Apple Jelly

The Cresco Live Resin designation refers to a strain-specific profile with a unique combination of cannabinoids and terpenes. It is named for its sweet, fruity aroma reminiscent of apples and candy-like flavors.

Fresh-Frozen Cannabis Material

The starting material for live resin is high-quality cannabis flower that is frozen immediately after harvest. This helps lock in the plant’s natural chemical profile, including both major and minor cannabinoids.

Cannabinoids

Cannabinoids are the active compounds found in cannabis. In Cresco Live Resin cartridges, THC is typically the dominant cannabinoid, while minor cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, and CBC may also be present, depending on the strain.

Terpene Content

Terpenes are aromatic compounds that influence flavor and aroma. Apple Jelly live resin often contains a fruity terpene profile, including compounds such as myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, which contribute to its distinctive apple-like scent.

Extraction Process

Professional manufacturers typically use hydrocarbon extraction methods, such as butane or propane, to separate cannabinoids and terpenes from plant material.

Full-Spectrum Concentrate

This means the oil retains a wide range of cannabinoids and terpenes from the original plant, preserving its natural chemical profile.

Purification and Refinement

This creates a clean, smooth oil suitable for use in vapor cartridges.

Cartridge Design and Hardware

The design ensures efficient heating and consistent vapor production, while protecting the integrity of the live resin.

Viscosity and Oil Consistency

Live resin naturally has a thicker, more viscous consistency than some other cannabis oils.

Quality Testing

Licensed manufacturers conduct rigorous lab testing to verify potency, terpene profile, and the absence of contaminants. This testing ensures that the final product aligns with safety and labeling standards.

Consumer Information

The goal is transparency about what is inside the cartridge.
