What is the Caramelo strain?
Caramelo is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and earthy and floral flavor profile.
Caramelo is a sativa-dominant hybrid (70% sativa, 30% indica) developed by the Spanish breeder Delicious Seeds, emerging as a standout in their catalog during the 2010s. This award-winning strain has claimed victory at 16 Cannabis Cups, establishing itself as a champion cultivar. The strain derives from a cross between two distinct Lavender phenotypes - an indica-dominant and a sativa-dominant Lavender, creating a complex polyhybrid with genetics spanning Afghanistan, Hawaii, Korea, Colombia, Mexico, and Skunk family lines. Caramelo exemplifies the European breeding movement's focus on hybrid vigor and terpene diversity during this period. The strain's name reflects its signature candy-like sweetness that defines both its flavor profile and aromatic characteristics. Visually, Caramelo buds display a rich assortment of colors ranging from deep forest greens to hints of purple and bright orange pistils that twist through the nugs like caramel swirls. The dense trichome coverage gives the buds a frosty, sparkling appearance that indicates its potency, with resinous coats numbering in the tens of thousands of trichomes per square centimeter.
