Biscotti Strain

The story of Biscotti

Biscotti came out of Connected Cannabis Co. in 2016, credited to Caleb Counts and sold into the world through the Cookies family. The cross is Gelato #25, one of the numbered keepers from the original Gelato hunt, matched to South Florida OG. Some sources write the OG side as Sour Florida OG; it is the same gassy, compact cut either way.

The name is the whole pitch. Gelato #25 brings sweet dough and fruit, South Florida OG brings fuel and weight, and the result tastes like the Italian biscuit: baked sweetness, a pepper snap on the exhale, and a body that arrives late. It stayed popular because it is easy to sell and easy to smoke.

Watch the family around it. We carry Gelatti, which is Gelato crossed with Biscotti, so you can taste the parent in the child. Black Biscotti and Pink Biscotti are separate selections of the same cross, not the same jar.

Terpene breakdown

• Limonene (0.537%): bright citrus lift on top.
• Caryophyllene (0.437%): peppery, fuel-adjacent spice underneath.
• Myrcene (0.368%): the relaxed, body-heavy base.

Limonene leads and caryophyllene sits close behind, which is why Biscotti reads citrus-and-pepper rather than pure dessert. Myrcene carries the heavy body, and the humulene and linalool behind it add the dry, floral note that keeps the sweetness from going syrupy.

Growing Biscotti

Eight to nine weeks indoors, with some phenotypes happier at the full nine weeks to finish resin properly. Plants stay short and bushy, three to five feet with training, and reward ScrOG or topping because the lateral branching is thick and the canopy fills fast.

Yields land around 400 to 550 grams per square metre indoors. It likes a stable climate and dry late flower; the density that makes the buds sell is the same density that holds moisture if humidity runs high.

How to consume Biscotti

Compared with a straight Gelato, Biscotti is the heavier of the two. Reports describe a slow build: a warm tingle in the head, a creative, easy mood, then a body weight that settles in and stays. It lands as an evening strain for most people, though the head stays clear enough to keep talking.

A dry herb vape around 180 to 190 C keeps the dough and pepper; joints push the fuel forward. Start moderate if your batch sits at the top of the range, because the creep is real and the second hit lands harder than the first.

Biscotti vs similar strains

Its child Gelatti is the closest comparison on our shelf: same doughy base, more fruit, slightly less gas. If you like Gelatti, Biscotti is the parent that explains it.

Against Gelato, Biscotti is denser, gassier and slower to lift, with the South Florida OG doing the work. Black Biscotti and Pink Biscotti are darker and fruitier selections of the same cross; treat them as cousins rather than the same jar.
