Abstrax teams up with Sherbinskis to bring the world the essential and authentic Gelato, the second release in the paradigm changing Abstrax Signature Series

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Abstrax, a trailblazer in cannabis research and terpene technology, has partnered with Sherbinskis to proudly announce the addition of Bacio Gelato to the highly acclaimed Abstrax Signature Series. A collaboration with renowned cannabis breeder Mario Guzman, also known as Mr. Sherbinski, Bacio Gelato marks the pinnacle of exotic, gassy cannabis, setting new standards for both flavor and aroma. Sherbinskis' Bacio Gelato stands out as the gassiest cannabis ever measured by Abstrax, a significant achievement considering the tens of thousands of different cultivars that Abstrax has analyzed and quantified. This partnership marks a pivotal moment for the maturing cannabis industry, combining the artistry and cultural significance of Sherbinskis with the unbridled scientific prowess of Abstrax. Founded in San Francisco, Sherbinskis has been at the forefront of cannabis innovation, creating some of the most sought-after strains in the world. With a legacy rooted in authenticity and quality, the brand has cultivated a global following and is recognized as a symbol of premium cannabis.

"Partnering with Abstrax on this project has been an incredible experience. Their dedication to capturing the true essence of Bacio Gelato is unmatched," said Mario Guzman, Founder of Sherbinskis. "Abstrax's scientific precision combined with our passion for authentic cannabis culture is exactly what this industry needs to stay true to its origins while continuing to innovate".

Bacio Gelato, known for its dense fuel notes layered with a exotic sweetness, has quickly become a cornerstone of modern cannabis breeding. This unique phenotype, also known as Gelato 41 or even just Gelato, was first cultivated by Mario Guzman and has since inspired over 100 hybrid strains, including popular varieties such as Area 41 and Sherbacio. Under the visionary guidance of Mario Guzman, Sherbinskis has consistently pushed the boundaries of cannabis genetics. The Gelato line, particularly Bacio Gelato, has not only redefined consumer expectations but has also set new benchmarks for breeders worldwide. However, it is Bacio's pungent, unmistakable gassy aroma that truly sets it apart from its contemporaries—making it the gassiest strain ever quantified by Abstrax's cutting-edge analytical methods.

This launch marks a significant milestone in the Abstrax Signature Series, a groundbreaking collection that features unparalleled, authentic terpene profiles. These profiles are crafted through the use of advanced 2-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC), which allows Abstrax to identify over 500 compounds in cannabis, including the newly discovered cannasulfur compounds (CSCs) and cannabis flavorants. The synergy between Abstrax's scientific expertise and Sherbinskis' unparalleled cultivation mastery brings consumers a product that is both authentic and consistent, bridging the gap between traditional cannabis culture and modern technological advancements. This precision-driven approach ensures that each strain in the Signature Series offers an exact match to its original flower, allowing for consistency and authenticity that is unrivaled in the cannabis industry.

The Abstrax Signature Series: Solving Consistency in Cannabis

The Abstrax Signature Series was born from a pressing challenge for strain names in the cannabis industry: inconsistency. Iconic strains like Jack Herer, the first cultivar to be included in the Signature Series, have often been subject to widespread imitation and knockoffs, leaving consumers unsure if they are experiencing the real thing. With the Signature Series, Abstrax provides a solution. By working directly with cultivators like Sherbinskis, Abstrax deciphers the authentic strain's unique metabolic fingerprint to create an advanced formulation that exactly replicates the flower's authentic aroma, flavor, and effects.

What sets the Signature Series apart is the direct collaboration with the very people who know the authentic strain the best. In the case of Bacio Gelato, Abstrax partnered with Mario Guzman for a period of 4 ½ years to create the Bacio Gelato Signature Series profile. "Maintaining the integrity of our strains is paramount," added Mario Guzman. "By collaborating with Abstrax, we're ensuring that consumers worldwide can experience Bacio Gelato in its truest form, just as we intended."

"We've set a new standard for cannabis," said Max Koby, Co-Founder and CEO of Abstrax. "With the Signature Series, consumers know that they are experiencing strains like Bacio Gelato as they were truly meant to be—consistent, powerful, and authentic every time, no matter where they shop."

Bacio Gelato: A Game-Changing Phenotype

Bacio Gelato is the latest strain to undergo Abstrax's rigorous Signature Series process. Known for its rich combination of intense fuel notes and delicate exotic sweetness, it embodies the unique qualities that have made the Gelato family famous. Abstrax's research revealed that Bacio Gelato contains the greatest concentration of prenylated cannasulfur compounds (PCSCs), which are responsible for its incredibly gassy aroma. This made Bacio Gelato the gassiest strain ever measured at Abstrax, tripling Abstrax's previously set benchmarks.

"Bacio Gelato completely shattered our expectations," said TJ Martin, Vice President of Research at Abstrax. "We had to recalibrate our Gas Factor metric because of how far Bacio surpassed our previous measurements. This is a strain that truly redefines what we know about gas in cannabis."

As part of the Signature Series, Bacio Gelato not only represents a new standard in cannabis aroma profiling but also highlights the artistry of breeders like Mario Guzman of Sherbinskis. His meticulous breeding practices combined with Abstrax's scientific prowess have resulted in a product that is both a scientific marvel and a testament to the enduring cultural significance of cannabis.
