Two generations apart

Leafly’s Cookies-family timeline dates Gelato to 2014, when Sunset Sherbert was reversed to GSC; Gelatti, Georgia Pie’s parent, is Gelato × Biscotti, and Leafly says it is hard to find outside California, like most Cookies strains.1,8 In our lab data the two share the same three leading terpenes, in the same order.4 Gelato has its own guide in the Official Cannabis network at gelatostrain.com.
