Also known as: Alfajores, El Krem
Alfajores - El Krem Strain Overview
Alfajores - El Krem is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by Purple City Genetics, a renowned Oakland-based cannabis collective founded in 2008. This strain is the result of crossing Cookies'n'Cream with Blueprint, creating a complex genetic profile that combines multiple legendary lineages. The Cookies'n'Cream parent, originally bred by Exotic Genetix, is itself a cross between Girl Scout Cookies and Starfighter, contributing sweet, creamy characteristics. Blueprint brings an equally impressive pedigree as a three-way cross of Runtz (Zkittlez x Gelato), F1 Durb (Durban Poison x Chemdawg), and Gushers (Gelato #41 x Triangle Kush). This extensive genetic foundation results in a strain with exceptional resin production and complex terpene profiles ideal for extractions.
Alfajores - El Krem is named after the traditional Spanish-Moorish pastry, reflecting its dessert-like characteristics. The strain exhibits the classic indica-dominant structure with medium to high height, flexible branches, and wide internodes. It produces dense, frosty flowers covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give the buds a crystalline appearance. The strain is particularly notable for its exceptional quality trichome production and long-lasting terpene preservation, making it highly sought after by both recreational users and extract enthusiasts. Purple City Genetics developed this strain as part of their El Krem premium genetics collection, specifically designed for hash and concentrate production.
