Stracciatella Gelato
Also known as: Stracciatello Gelato, Stracciatello Gelato #7
Stracciatella Gelato Strain Overview
Stracciatella Gelato is named after the classic Italian gelato flecked with chocolate, and was created by Raw Genetics through a cross of Gelato 45 and French Toast. This strain is 40% sativa and 60% indica, making it a slightly indica-dominant hybrid known by consumers for its sweet flavor. Stracciatella appears to have emerged in the late 2010s and early 2020s, coinciding with the explosion of dessert-themed genetics anchored by Cookies, Gelato, Wedding Cake, and similar lineages. The name aligns with a broader market trend where confectionary branding signals a creamy, sweet terpene experience rather than indica or sativa archetypes. During this period, many small and mid-sized breeders created gelato-adjacent crosses, leading to multiple regional Stracciatella cuts circulating concurrently.
This bud has fluffy and small, spade-shaped forest green nugs with thin orange hairs and tiny white trichomes. The strain features round robust nuggets with swirled fern-green leaves, while small patches of wavy orange pistils are scattered, and white resinous trichome hairs give the buds a frosted look. Open a jar of Stracciatella and the leading impression should be creamy-sweet, reminiscent of vanilla gelato with light cocoa dust or dark chocolate flake. Beneath that, many cuts layer soft gas, fresh dough, and a pinch of peppery spice. Like its name suggests, Stracciatello Gelato has a super sweet and creamy vanilla gelato flavor with hints of sour citrus and a touch of spice.

Stracciatella Gelato Strain Growing Information
Stracciatella Gelato can be cultivated indoors and outdoors, with plants needing a flowering time of approximately 61 days (ranging from 56-65 days). Raw Genetics's Stracciatella Gelato was never available as feminized seeds, indicating it's typically grown from regular seeds. Growers often report moderate internodal spacing, heavy resin production, and color potential under cooler night temperatures. These are traits commonly seen in Gelato-descended hybrids, which also tend to prefer slightly higher calcium and magnesium availability in bloom. Stretch factor of roughly 1.5x–2.0x during the first two weeks of flower is consistent with many dessert hybrids. Based on its Gelato lineage, this strain would likely prefer warm, controlled environments and benefit from proper support structures due to dense bud development.
