Terpenes
Aromatic compounds in the hemp plant that shape taste, aroma and effect.
Terpenes are natural aromatic compounds found in many plants, hemp among them. They are responsible for the characteristic smell and taste of CBD products and play an important part in the entourage effect.
Common terpenes in hemp are myrcene, limonene, linalool, pinene and caryophyllene. Each terpene has its own properties and contributes to the unique profile of a hemp variety.
For B2B retailers, terpenes are an important point of differentiation. Hemp Wholesale Europe offers products with a natural terpene profile as well as terpene-optimised formulations for specific market segments.
