CBD Solid Extract Explained: What It Is and How It's Made
CBD Solid Extract Explained: What It Is and How It's Made
CBD solid extract is one of the more concentrated formats in the hemp category, and it's worth understanding what sets it apart from hemp tea flower or oils. At Calm Leaf, our CBD solid extract is produced to the same lab-tested, UK-compliant standard as the rest of our range.
What Is CBD Solid Extract?
CBD solid extract is made from the trichomes of the hemp plant — the resin glands that carry the plant's cannabinoid and terpene content. These trichomes are separated through extraction and pressed into a dense block. As with all Calm Leaf products, it's produced from EU-approved cultivars and independently verified to contain less than 0.2% THC.
A More Concentrated Format
Because of how it's produced, CBD solid extract typically carries a higher cannabinoid concentration by weight than flower. This means a smaller amount is generally used per session compared to less concentrated formats — a difference in format and potency, not in effect.
Terpene Profile
Solid extract retains a rich terpene profile from the source material. Terpenes are the aromatic compounds responsible for a product's scent and flavour character, and they vary batch to batch depending on the cultivar used.
Consumption Formats
CBD solid extract is commonly vaporised or used in the same way as traditional hash, though some people incorporate it into other preparations. The format is flexible, and which method suits best comes down to personal preference.
Quality Assurance and Legal Compliance
Every batch of Calm Leaf CBD solid extract is independently lab tested for cannabinoid content and purity, and verified to sit below the 0.2% UK THC threshold. Lab reports are available for every batch we sell.
