PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Autumn is a time to bask in brisk air, stroll through crunchy leaves and take in glowing foliage. Just in time for the fall and winter holiday seasons, Portland-based dispensary chain Chalice Farms, a subsidiary of Golden Leaf Holdings (“GLH” or the “Company”) (CSE:GLH) (OTCQB:GLDFF), a leading cannabis oil solutions company built around recognized brands is offering a new way to warm up: its new line of seasonal, gluten-free cannabis treats.
In homage to a fall favorite, Chalice Farms’ Pumpkin Spice Cannabis Truffle combines the warm aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove with classic pumpkin flavor. The truffle, made from all-natural ingredients, is enveloped in a shell of creamy white chocolate. Chalice Farms’ Pumpkin Spice Cannabis Truffle won runner-up for Best Sweet Edible in DOPE magazine’s Third Annual Oregon DOPE Cup.
The December holiday season is also looking to be a bit sweeter for cannabis edible aficionados thanks to the advent of Chalice Farms’ Dark Chocolate Peppermint edible. Crunchy mint pairs with the mellow tang of premium dark chocolate, blended with THC-infused coconut-based MCT oil.
“As do many consumer products companies, we too see an opportunity for seasonal items. Creating quality products such as our Pumpkin Spice Truffle and Dark Chocolate Peppermint bars shows that we can respond to market trends and give consumers what they want when they walk through our doors,” said William Simpson, founder of Chalice Farms and chief executive officer of Golden Leaf Holdings, Chalice Farms’ parent company. “We hope the limited-time availability of these products will bring in customers looking to sample a greater variety of our products,” Simpson continued.
With Chalice Farms’ purchase this year by Golden Leaf Holdings, one of North America’s largest cannabis oil and solution providers, the Chalice Farms brand is looking forward to expanding its footprint across the U.S. and Canada. Via the wholesale channel provided by Chalice Farms’ parent company Golden Leaf Holdings, the branded seasonal edibles will be distributed to and available in retail dispensaries across Oregon.
Since its opening in 2014, Chalice Farms has served the greater Portland community with its chain of dispensaries selling its line of 12 premium edibles. Its branded chocolate bars and truffles, designed in the company’s test kitchen, are made with globally sourced, shade-grown cocoa beans and its gummies with real fruit purée.
