What is La mousse

What is La mousse?

Is it uvb myrcene with some powders and ordinary kief?

Every lamousse had the same smell and smoke, with a stink that lingers forever, and about the same consistency.

The La mousse kief i have seen from better source is much higher quality, and double the price.

I am perplexed

From what I just read it’s “a blend of traditional sift and ice/ water extraction” but from what I seen on @SamboCreeck.com video of it just now it seems to be just a bubble hash that was refined using dry ice sieves after allowing said bubble hash to freeze over to cold room temps and using specific or bulk micron sieves to clean the hash. Or I could just be wrong and they’re using the dry ice sieves to reconstitute a fluffier texture while doing a cleaning of the hash. Tbh a lot of my dry sift turns out similar to this especially while using dry ice teks.

I got jars full of dry sift that when you scoop into them it’s essentially a similar texture to a fluffy playdough or moon sand. Add a little heat and a cure time in a no oxygen closed environment and you’ll have a pristine fluffy aromatic consistency.

Thank you very much for your answer

Mousse is what’s left over after making static hash. Similar quality as kief, but a little cleaner and fluffier

LA Mousse can be made from many types of kief. The important thing to note about it is texture. It never bricks up, always soft and breaks up easily. In europe where hash is mixed with tobacco this texture makes the product popular because it is easy to dispense. From the kajillion tons I saw in morocco, it was always lower grade stuff from the Baño process which is the thing where they beat the hash with sticks to make kief. Their inferior grades go to LA Mousse, sometimes remnants of static sift.

The process involves heating and cooling the hash in ovens. In morocco those ovens are the size of rooms sometimes. This process changes the consistency of the product as described previously.

We posted another LA Mousse method from a buddy in Ketama where what I saw used was kief, old bricked hash that lost all terps. Some of the old hash was from last season and some was sitting in trucks that never crossed the straight. They grind the hash with dry ice and this process turns the dark hash into blonde Mousse, essentially “repairing“ it. Synthetic terps are sometimes added to fix the smell. The hash does go to post-process in ovens.

I will look up some pictures to share.

Johnny no gloves, he should have to smoke everything he touched!

Originally la mouse

Is normal 100-120 micron kief

Thc-a content of 22-28%

The hasj is then fabricated ( placed in cellophane bags ) NOT pressed with any mechanical means

The plates of hasj are then placed in a “oven”

Temp is set at 38-42 C

And they are left for 48 hours at least

At this point about 20% of cannabinoid content is decarboxilate in general cbg-a>cbg

And about 15% of the thc-a content to thc

Since thc is an oil the consistency changes

Towards the la mousse side

Some place this warmed hasj in a freezer and repeat this warming and freezing process for several days
This is how it started

At the same time folks where making static and Deu to pore storage condition these products would oil out

A problem that they solved adding starch

Wich would absorb the oil and give a la mousse consistency

So at some point they figured that by adding starch to la mousse intended hasj adding starch inmproves the mousse consistency without the amount of oventime that the original sop called for

So nowadays if you can find original unadulterated la mousseline Europe you can find two flavors

The starch adulterated la mousse can be identified by breaking it into small chunks and making a small mountain on a plate

If you pull all the small pieces into a hill and it stays moving for a few seconds like magic sand it a got starch
