What is Live Resin?
Live Resin is a cannabis concentrate that is obtained from freshly harvested and immediately frozen plants. This process preserves terpenes and cannabinoids that are otherwise often lost during drying and curing.
Extraction is carried out using solvents such as butane or propane, which dissolve the valuable ingredients from the plant material. The result: an aromatic, terpene-rich concentrate that captures the taste of the fresh plant.
What is Live Rosin?
In contrast to Live Resin, Live Rosin is produced completely without solvents. It is based on fresh or frozen cannabis, which is first processed into hash or kief. This material is then pressed using heat and pressure to extract the resins.
The result is a particularly natural and clean concentrate that many consumers appreciate for its purity and intense flavor profiles.
