Peach Crème Gelato is an indica from Maven Genetics, the San Fernando Valley breeder and indoor grower. It crosses Gelato Gas with Peach Ringz, and Maven describes it as mentally stimulating, physically relaxing and packed with flavor.
Its biggest mark came one generation later. Peach Crème Gelato is a parent of Orange Bellini, which won first place for sativa flower at the 2023 High Times Cannabis Cup SoCal: People's Choice Edition.
Gelato Gas meets Peach Ringz
Maven paired its Gelato Gas with Peach Ringz, a Dying Breed Seeds hybrid of Marionberry and Eddy OG. Leafly describes Peach Ringz with bright trichomes that recall the candy it is named after, and lists it at 21% THC.
Leafly classes Peach Crème Gelato as a hybrid that leans indica, following Maven's own placement. It lists THC at 30%, well above the average strain on the platform.
The finished flower shows dense, dark green and violet nugs threaded with amber stigmas. Maven pegs the flavor as sweet, slightly sour peach with spice, florals and a touch of diesel.
From SFV closet grow to connoisseur flower
Maven started as a small, closet-grown passion project in the San Fernando Valley. It grew into a licensed operation that produces indoor flower, concentrates, small-batch releases and cannabis seeds.
The company says it controls quality from seed to sale. It frames its work as meticulous cultivation and deliberate selection, and calls itself proudly rooted in the Valley. Its current strain library spans indica, hybrid and sativa shelves, from Pre-98 Bubba Kush to Orange Bellini.
Seeds & Clones describes Maven as an LA-based breeder that favors selection-heavy work over mass production. That approach shows in how Peach Crème Gelato moved from a finished indica into a breeding parent.
Orange Bellini and the White Box Collection
Maven crossed Orange Truffle Soufflé with Peach Crème Gelato to make Orange Bellini, a sativa for daytime. Maven credits the Peach Crème Gelato side with the physical ease in that high, while Orange Truffle Soufflé brings the energy and focus.
Orange Bellini's buds show violet accents, orange stigmas and a heavy, sticky coat of trichomes. Maven sells it in its White Box Collection, a limited line of sativa-dominant strains packaged in all white.
At the 2023 High Times Cannabis Cup SoCal: People's Choice Edition, Orange Bellini took first place in the sativa category. That same year Fig Farms won the indica and hybrid categories with Blue Face and Animal Face.
A family that keeps growing
Leafly scored Orange Bellini 93 out of 100 in its fall 2023 review, rating it Outstanding. The review praised a clean sense of focus and a buzzy, creative high, at $45 for the jar tested.
The line has kept going since then. Seeds & Clones reports that Orange Bellini serves as the mother of Maven's Orange Sapphire seed line, which makes Peach Crème Gelato a grandparent of that release.
That puts Peach Crème Gelato behind two generations of Maven sativas, from a cup winner to a newer seed drop. Its Gelato Gas and Peach Ringz roots now run through a growing part of Maven's catalog.
