Wonder Valley and Lily CBD launch a CBD Olive Oil

It’s Time to Add CBD Olive Oil to Your Kitchen

Leave a reply

As the trend-du-jour, CBD-infused everything has finally reached a logical product, blending two beneficial oils into a superior CBD Olive Oil. Wonder Valley partnered with Lily CBD for an exclusive batch of chic olive oil that also works as a decent skin balm (a treat for your kitchen and your skin).

 

The small batch of CBD oil is the ultimate marriage of two superfoods. The nutty scent of Wonder Valley’s oils is combined with subtle floral notes of hemp-derived terpenes for a distinctly fresh aroma. The oil is meant to be drizzled on raw ingredients like heirloom tomatoes, salads, and avocado and/or blended into sauces rather than cooked with.

 

“We believe in the power of oil,” said Alison Carrol of Wonder Valley in a statement. “Beyond just a condiment we see extra virgin olive oil as a superfood and staple of a healthy life. We intentionally pick our olives underripe, yielding a greener oil packed with polyphenols and that peppery flavor profile shines through in this CBD olive oil blend but is fortified with the medicinal properties of CBD.” Beyond the obvious health aspects of olive oil, with the addition of CBD, the tincture is practically at the helm of all cooking oils.

 

The cherry atop the jam-packed benefits of the CBD olive oil is the amber glass bottle modeled after an old school apothecary jar. The unique packaging raises the oil to the medicinal level making it belong in both a vanity cabinet as well as in the kitchen. Original labels were handwritten, but with the rising demand, each label now comes with a QR code linking to lab results of the batch.

 

Wonder Valley and Lily CBD Olive Oil is available exclusively at The Wonder Valley Oil Shop in Joshua Tree and online.

 

Ben and Jerry CBD Ice Cream

Cool Off with CBD-Infused Ben & Jerry’s

With an official FDA hearing to determine the legality of CBD set for tomorrow, May 31 (despite it already being available in lattes and massage oils), Ben & Jerry’s has teased the release of a new CBD-infused ice cream flavored. (Insert joke about Half-Baked here.)

 

The ice cream brand has always adapted to the times, becoming more politically outspoken in recent years — in 2016, they released a limited-edition flavor called ‘Bernie’s Yearning’ in support of Bernie Sanders — and aligning themselves with social causes like 2014’s Fight for the Reef campaign with World Wide Fund for Nature and the Australian Marine Conservation Society. So announcing an initiative to incorporate CBD (which has been said to help relieve stress and improve sleeping) is just the brand’s latest effort to appeal to the modern consumer. We may scream for ice cream, but it’s clear that Ben & Jerry’s is always listening.

Barneys Enters the Luxury Cannabis Market

Leave a reply

Barneys New York is venturing into the world of cannabis with the launch of The High End, the luxury store’s cannabis and wellness shop. Set to open in March at the Beverly Hills outpost, the new space was designed in collaboration with Beboe, a cannabis supplier, and will stock a variety of products and accessories for cannabis use. (Cannabis use is legal both medically and recreationally in California — #420 blaze it.)

“Barneys New York has always been at the forefront of shifts in culture and lifestyle, and cannabis is no exception,” chief executive officer and president of Barneys Daniella Vitale said in a statement. “Many of our customers have made cannabis a part of their lifestyle, and The High End caters to their needs with extraordinary products and service they experience in every facet of Barneys New York.”

Once open, The High End will feature an eclectic assortment of lifestyle goods and products, including lighters, trays, rolling papers, and strains, made exclusively with Beboe. To celebrate the store’s launch and the first major luxury retail and cannabis partnership (insert joke about ‘designer drugs’ here), a limited-edition vape pen will be available.

The High End will open in March at Barneys New York Beverly Hills.
