Affogato
Affogato is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the White Truffle cut. Developed for consistent performance within both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, this strain requires moderate expertise from the grower to reach its full potential. Plants typically complete their flowering cycle in 70 days, resulting in a high yield of THC-dominant flower.
The olfactory profile of Affogato is defined by a complex chemical composition, led by a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by limonene, caryophyllene, and pinene. The sensory experience is further nuanced by beta-pinene, humulene, bisabolol, linalool, valencene, and nerolidol. Deeper notes are provided by secondary concentrations of guaiol, camphene, ocimene, borneol, caryophyllene-oxide, terpinolene, sabinene, and geraniol, which collectively contribute to the strain’s specific fragrance and flavor profile.
Consumers generally report that the effects of Affogato are characterized by a sense of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Due to this cannabinoid profile, the strain is frequently utilized for the management of stress, pain, and sleep-related difficulties. At this time, no notable offspring have been recorded in the strain’s genetic lineage.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
