White Truffle Strain: Genetics, Flavour and Price

Last updated 4 October 2026 from live stock · By the Bud Cargo team

What strain is White Truffle?

White Truffle is an indica-dominant hybrid that was selected from a Gorilla Butter seed run. Gorilla Butter is itself a cross of Gorilla Glue #4 and Peanut Butter Breath, so White Truffle belongs to the same family as the other “butter” strains. Leafly credits the strain to Fresh Coast Genetics, a breeder based in Michigan.

AllBud puts it at about 80% indica and 20% sativa and describes the cross as Gorilla Butter with another, unnamed hybrid. That small disagreement is normal for a phenotype selection: the plant was picked out of a batch of seeds for its standout traits, so the exact second parent is not always published.

What is a phenotype, and why does it matter here?

A phenotype is one individual plant’s expression of its genetics. Growers pop many seeds from the same cross, keep the plant with the best frost, smell or yield, and name it. White Truffle is one of those keepers, which is why it looks and smells noticeably different from a typical Gorilla Butter.

What does White Truffle look and smell like?

White Truffle is one of the frostiest strains around. Leafly describes dense, knuckled buds in deep olive and charcoal tones, dusted in white trichomes with dark brown hairs. AllBud adds purple undertones and thick orange hairs on some cuts.

The smell is the reason for the name. Instead of the sweet candy or fruit notes of most modern strains, White Truffle is savoury: Leafly reviewers describe butter, nuts and chestnut over an earthy, mildly skunky base, while AllBud’s reviewers mention citrus, pine, black pepper and herbal garlic. That peppery edge fits caryophyllene, the top terpene Leafly lists. Our cannabis terpenes guide explains how each terpene shapes the smell.

How strong is White Truffle?

White Truffle is a high-THC strain. Leafly lists it at 24% THC and 0% CBD, and AllBud gives a range of 23% to 28%. Even the bottom of that range is strong flower.

Numbers from strain databases are typical values, not a guarantee for any particular jar. One AllBud reviewer reported a sample that tested at 13.4%, a reminder that grower and lot matter as much as the name. We don’t publish a lab-tested THC figure for the White Truffle lot we stock right now, so we don’t quote one. Our guide to reading THC percentages on a label explains what these figures do and don’t tell you.

What effects do people report from White Truffle?

Reviewers most often describe White Truffle as relaxing, tingly and body-focused. Leafly’s top reported feelings are tingly, aroused and relaxed, and its summary calls the effect calming and slightly buzzy. AllBud’s reviewers add creative and sleepy.

In practice it is an afternoon-to-evening strain. The most commonly reported negatives are dry mouth, headache and dizziness. Everyone reacts differently, so start low if you haven’t tried it before, and treat this as a description of what consumers report, not a health claim.

How does White Truffle compare with Gorilla Butter?

White Truffle is a selection from Gorilla Butter, so the two share a family resemblance but are not the same. Published figures put White Truffle higher in THC and give it a sharper, more peppery profile, while Gorilla Butter leans creamy, with butter, nut and vanilla notes.

Is White Truffle the same as Black Truffle?

No. White Truffle and Black Truffle are separate strains that happen to share the “truffle” name, which growers use for savoury, earthy smelling cultivars. Don’t assume one tastes or hits like the other. Bud Cargo doesn’t currently carry Black Truffle, but our Black Truffle strain guide covers what is known about it.

Is White Truffle top shelf, and is it expensive?

White Truffle has a top-shelf reputation for its frost and unusual savoury nose, but it doesn’t have to be expensive. Price depends on the grower and the batch, not the name. On the Bud Cargo menu today a full ounce is $49, about $1.75 a gram, compared with a median of $72 across our 36 in-stock ounce deals.

The wholesale listing is a separate batch from the ounce deal and costs more per gram, so for most buyers the ounce is the better value. An ounce is also 28 g, just under the 30 g of dried cannabis an adult may carry in public under section 8 of the Cannabis Act.
