What is the Mataro Blue strain?
Mataro Blue is a indica cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and blueberry flavor profile.
Mataro Blue is a rare indica-dominant hybrid strain created by Spanish seed company Kannabia Seeds through a sophisticated three-way cross of Black Domina, Mazar-i-Sharif, and Blue Monster. Named after Mataró, a coastal city near Barcelona where cannabis research and strain development takes place, this award-winning variety has earned international recognition for its exceptional quality and potency. The strain won first place for Medical Indica at the 2012 Treating Yourself Expo in Toronto, first place for rosin at the 2016 Lift Expo in Toronto, and third place for physical appearance at the Copa Cannabica Axarquia in Spain in 2013. Mataro Blue is distinguished by its incredibly stable genetics, producing only two very similar phenotypes, making each seed nearly clone-like in consistency. The buds are notably dense and compact, displaying deep forest green colors with bright blue undertones that become more pronounced in cooler climates, eventually turning electric blue. Each nugget is adorned with thin orange hairs and generously coated with a thick blanket of amber crystal trichomes that shimmer like diamonds, contributing to its exceptional resin production that makes it ideal for hash and concentrate production.
