Cannabis Pesto Pasta
A vibrant basil-pine-nut pesto blended with infused olive oil. Bright, fresh, and ready in 20 minutes.
Duck Confit with Cannabis Herb Butter
Slow-rendered duck legs crisped to lacquered perfection, finished with a fragrant herb butter infused with cannabis. Pinene's resinous notes echo the rosemary and thyme tucked into the butter.
Paella Valenciana with Cannabis Saffron Oil
