White Truffle

Where does White Truffle come from?

White Truffle is a phenotype of Gorilla Butter, which is itself a cross of Gorilla Glue #4 (also sold as Original Glue) and Peanut Butter Breath. In other words, it's one standout plant picked from a Gorilla Butter seed run and then kept going as cuttings.

Breeding credit usually goes to Fresh Coast, a small Michigan breeder, with the Michigan grower BeLeaf credited for selecting and naming the cut. Watch out for a separate, unrelated strain from another breeder that uses the same name.

What does White Truffle smell and taste like?

This one is closer to a savoury dish than a dessert. People describe damp earth, roasted nuts and a buttery note, often with fuel, pepper and dry wood behind it. Some batches add a faint sour fruit or skunk edge.

Caryophyllene usually leads its terpene results, followed by limonene and humulene. Caryophyllene brings the peppery bite, humulene an earthy, woody note and limonene a touch of brightness. The flavour is nutty and earthy, with a peppery finish.

White Truffle effects: what people report

People most often describe White Truffle as relaxed, calm and a little tingly, with a heavier body feel than a head buzz. Some call it giggly or happy at the start, and many say it gets sleepy as it goes on, especially at higher amounts.

These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth is the most common complaint, and some people mention dry eyes, dizziness or a headache.

How strong is White Truffle?

White Truffle is usually a high-THC strain. Listings put it at about 24% to 28% THC, with almost no CBD.

If you're new to it, start small and give it time before having more. The THC and CBD numbers on your label matter more than the strain name.

Buying White Truffle in Canada

Read the label. Because two different strains share the name, and because it's a single selected cut, flower from different producers may not be the same plant.

You might find it as dried flower, pre-rolls or concentrates. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that nutty, earthy smell.

White Truffle vs Gorilla Glue

Gorilla Glue sits in White Truffle's family tree as one of the parents of Gorilla Butter. Both have an earthy, fuel-heavy smell and a reputation for a heavy, relaxed feel. The difference is mostly in the nose: Gorilla Glue leans sharper, with more pine and diesel, while White Truffle trades some of that for a nutty, buttery note from its Peanut Butter Breath side. White Truffle is also usually listed a little higher in THC. If you like the classic gassy smell, try Gorilla Glue. If savoury and nutty sounds better, try White Truffle.
