About Moroccan
Morocco has been the world's largest cannabis producer for decades, with the Rif Mountains being the epicenter of cultivation. Moroccan cannabis is unique in that it has been selected almost exclusively for hashish production, resulting in plants that may not produce the most impressive flowers but are incredibly resinous. The traditional varieties are a mix of indica-leaning hybrids that have adapted to the Mediterranean climate of the Rif region. Most Moroccan hashish consumed in Europe originates from these landrace genetics.
Flavor Profile
The Story & Lineage Origin
Morocco has cultivated cannabis since at least the 15th century, with the pace of production accelerating dramatically in the 20th century. The Rif Mountains became the world's primary hashish source, supplying European markets throughout the 1960s-90s.
Moroccan hashish culture influenced European cannabis consumption patterns significantly, with the 'soap bar' hash of the 80s and 90s being primarily Moroccan in origin.
