What Does CBD Oil Taste Like?

What is the Natural Taste of CBD Oil?

CBD Oil is a naturally bitter and earthy extract that comes from the Hemp plant. So, no matter what flavors are added to this natural compound, you’ll always be able to pinpoint this unique essence.

However, the more high-quality a CBD Oil, the less noticeable this flavor will be. In fact, various factors can alter the taste of this popular wellness product starting with extraction, meaning every company will have a slightly different CBD Oil taste that sets it apart.

What Affects How CBD Oil Tastes?

Extraction

The extraction process can greatly alter the base flavor of your CBD isolate or distillate. Poor quality extraction methods will yield harsh-tasting CBD Oil, while high-quality extracts will maintain the subtle earthy flavor present in Hemp.

CO2 and ethanol extraction are two widely used processes for the top CBD companies. Each method comes with its own pros and cons, but done correctly, both can produce quality CBD. If a company implements ethanol-based extraction like Hemp Bombs®, it should conduct extensive testing to ensure no residual solvents remain in the resulting CBD. Our in-house and third-party full-panel lab tests confirm that our extracts are free of residual solvents, heavy metals and other harmful elements before production ever begins.

Additional Ingredients

CBD Oil is typically crafted with CBD isolate or distillate powder and a blend of carrier oils that boost its efficiency and bioavailability. These oils can include olive oil, MCT oil, grape seed oil and more — and each company will have its own combination. Therefore, your CBD Oil may also taste slightly like these natural oils. And the better the carrier oil, the smoother your CBD Oil will taste as a whole.

Natural & Artificial Flavoring

Because so many people take CBD Oil directly from the dropper, many companies go above and beyond to offer a range of delicious flavors for an enjoyable experience. Harnessing the natural flavors and essences of certain fruits and popular foods allows companies to make subtle blends that taste great on their own, as well as in recipes.

Beware of extremely sweet oils which may be filled with added sugar to alter the CBD Oil taste and increase their desirability.

At Hemp Bombs, we have an experienced team of expert food scientists that crafts our tasty CBD Oils to mimic real flavor profiles without unnecessary additives.

We proudly offer five unique flavors, so everyone can find a flavor they love:

Additionally, we sell a Natural Hemp option which highlights the earthy, rich flavor of the plant and fits seamlessly in CBD recipes and homemade CBD topicals.

How to Make CBD Oil Taste Better

Despite the appetizing options, many people can’t get past the sometimes-bitter CBD Oil taste. That’s why products like CBD Gummies and other delicious edibles are so popular. However, those products can also be restrictive in serving size.

Thankfully, there are several daily uses you can take advantage of to make your CBD Oil taste better, including making your own unique CBD Oil recipes or simply adding your desired serving to pre-made items.

Make Your Own CBD Edibles

You can transform any of your favorite homemade recipes into premium CBD edibles. Just add your desired serving of CBD Oil during the final stages of the cooking process. If you’re making large batches of goodies, be sure to add enough CBD Oil so that each serving will have a consistent amount of CBD.

Keep in mind that heat can decrease the effectiveness of CBD Oil, so you should bake items at temperatures of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. A good rule of thumb is to add CBD to the cold elements of your recipe. For example, if you’re making a CBD cake, you can add the oil to your frosting to preserve the potency of this natural compound.
