Live resin sauce is made by flash-freezing fresh organic cannabis to preserve its terpenes and cannabinoids, followed by low-temperature hydrocarbon extraction to strip the trichomes.

The extract then undergoes separation and purging of solvents, causing the cannabinoids to crystallize into “diamonds” and the terpene-rich oil to form “sauce”. These components are often recombined in specific ratios to create the final, flavorful, and aromatic live resin sauce.
