We are beyond stoked to announce that Hash & Flowers just brought home a Golden Bear Award for our exceptional Zkittlez Cold Cure Live Rosin! This prestigious award—essentially the “Best in California” bragging rights—was presented at the 2024 California State Fair Cannabis Awards in Sacramento, where the state’s top cultivators and extract artists went head to head. This marks the first year the State Fair expanded beyond flower to include concentrates, and our solventless Z rosin stood out among more than 500 entries across California.
In California, the Golden Bear is the highest honor, traditionally reserved for exceptional wine, cheese, and now, cannabis. Our winning entry, the Zkittlez Cold Cure Live Rosin, is a single-source concentrate crafted from our sun-grown Trinity County flowers. Leafly highlighted our achievement in their recap, emphasizing that “Hash & Flowers won with Z” in the highly competitive live rosin category. For a small-batch, solventless brand like ours, this recognition means everything.
Let’s talk about Zkittlez—the strain behind the magic. Known for its distinctive “rainbow of sweet, fruity flavors,” Zkittlez bursts with tropical candy notes—think berry, citrus, and grape reminiscent of everyone’s favorite candy. Our rosin amplifies these delicious terpenes in full technicolor, providing an unparalleled sensory experience. Judges praised it for its unmatched purity, vibrant terpene profile, and the exceptional quality achieved through our careful solventless process.
This win represents more than just an award—it validates our approach to craft cannabis and highlights our dedication to producing premium, handcrafted concentrates. Our passion and commitment to quality over everything have always guided us, and the Golden Bear Award reaffirms we’re on the right track. We’re incredibly grateful to our hardworking team whose meticulous care, passion, and late-night sessions made this possible.
To celebrate this landmark achievement, we’re planning a special “Zkittlez Victory Edition” drop—stay tuned for details! In the meantime, make sure to experience our award-winning rosin yourself, available soon at select dispensaries. A massive thank you to our community and supporters—this victory belongs to all of you as well. Here’s to many more successes ahead!
