Derived from the Italian word for "flat," Piattella refers to the distinct way Uncle’s Farm presses their cold cure hash into thin, plate-like forms. This artisanal technique enhances the curing process, creating a unique texture, terpene profile, and consistency that differentiates Piattella from any other form of hash.
What Is Piattella?
Piattella is not a general term for a type of hash – it is the proprietary name for Uncle’s Farm’s specific solventless hash process. Based in Barcelona, Uncle’s Farm pioneered this method, making it one of the most sought-after innovations in modern hash-making. Since its introduction, Piattella hash has influenced hash culture worldwide, inspiring producers to attempt their own versions – but true Piattella remains exclusive to Uncle’s Farm.

Piattella & The Cold Cure Process
The cold cure process is central to Uncle’s Farm’s method, allowing their hash to develop rich flavor, potent effects, and a smooth, workable consistency. Unlike traditional hash, which may be aged in warmer conditions, cold cure hash is stored at lower temperatures to preserve its terpene profile and prevent degradation.
What Makes This Solventless Hash Unique?
-
Fresh Frozen Starting Material – Piattella starts with freshly frozen live cannabis, locking in its original terpene and cannabinoid content.
-
Low-Temperature Curing – Curing at controlled temperatures slowly develops texture and consistency without losing potency.
-
Pressed for a Flat, Pliable Form – The thin shape of Piattella makes it highly malleable, preserving its moisture and terpene integrity.
This method ensures that Piattella hash maintains a fresh, terp-heavy experience that stands apart from other solventless extracts.
How Piattella Differs from Other Hash Varieties
Many hash makers have attempted to recreate the Piattella effect, but Uncle’s Farm’s process remains unmatched in quality and exclusivity. Here’s how it compares to other well-known hash styles:
-
Traditional Hash – Often dry-sifted or pressed, lacks the high terpene preservation of cold cure methods.
-
Temple Balls – Hand-rolled and aged, resulting in a more compact and oxidized hash compared to Piattella’s workable, creamy texture.
-
Standard Cold Cure Rosin – While also solventless, standard cold cure rosin lacks the unique thin pressing technique that defines Piattella’s formation and usability.
Unlike other hashes that focus on maximizing yield, Piattella prioritizes purity, terpene preservation, and an ultra-premium dabbing experience.
How to Consume Piattella Hash
Because of its carefully crafted texture, Piattella is highly versatile for consumption:
-
Dabbing – The preferred method for unlocking its full terpene expression; best enjoyed with low-temperature dabs to savor the complete flavor spectrum.
-
Hot Knife Preparation – Using Puffco’s Hot Knife ensures effortless serving and handling of its delicate consistency.
-
Mixed into a Joint or Bowl – Can be layered with flower for an enhanced smoking experience.
Proper storage is also key – keeping Piattella in a cool, sealed container maintains its fresh-frozen terpene profile and creamy texture.
Why Piattella is the Benchmark for Hash
Uncle’s Farm redefined modern hash culture with the introduction of Piattella. Its proprietary process, distinct pressed form, and high-terpene content make it one of the most respected solventless extracts available. While many hash makers strive to imitate the Piattella experience, true Piattella hash remains exclusive to Uncle’s Farm and their meticulous process.
