In the world of hash rosin, few names carry the same craft-driven energy as Fresh Press. Born out of Southern California’s evolving concentrate culture, Fresh Press isn’t just another rosin company, it’s a creative collective built on passion, precision, and purpose. With a “seed-to-squish” philosophy, the team does everything in-house, ensuring every gram is pure artistry.
The Birth of Fresh Press
Fresh Press was founded in 2020 by Mike and Zack, two longtime cultivators and creators who noticed a void in the legal market: Where’s the good rosin? That question led to an answer, a brand that celebrates craftsmanship over commercialism. With Mike’s experience in small-batch gardens and Zack’s artistic vision, Fresh Press was born to showcase what hand-washed, single-source hash could be. Each batch is a “private selection,” a curated release representing years of breeding, growing, and pressing experience.
From Seed to Squish
Fresh Press defines “premium” by total immersion in the process. Every cultivar is bred, grown, harvested, washed, and pressed by the Fresh Press team, no outsourcing, no shortcuts. Their process begins with ice water extraction, using only indoor-grown flower, pure R.O. water, and hand agitation. Batches never exceed 5,000 grams and are washed only four times to preserve purity and freshness. Each strain is treated as its own masterpiece, with drying methods, press temperatures, and micron filters tailored to maximize terpene preservation and flavor expression.
This dedication to small-batch consistency means each jar captures the full sensory range of the plant, from aroma to melt to taste. It’s why Fresh Press rosin has become a cult favorite among hash lovers looking for the real thing.
Flavor, Art, and Experience
The Fresh Press library of cultivars spans the flavor spectrum, from fruity gas to creamy funk, with standouts like Drunk Baddie, their in-house bred tropical “life of the party” strain. Drunk Baddie’s papaya-forward sweetness carries effervescent notes of linalool, fenchol, and scatole, resulting in a profile that’s as complex as it is intoxicating. Other signature cultivars, like Papa Burger (hunted from California Seed Co.), have earned competition wins and cemented Fresh Press’s reputation as true rosin innovators.
The brand’s creative side doesn’t stop at cultivation. Each release comes with collectible, pop-art-inspired packaging, like the viral SK8Vape, an all-in-one rosin vape shaped like a fingerboard, created in collaboration with artists and community tastemakers such as Erick Khan and Mars Hype. Fresh Press turns every product drop into a cultural moment.
Rosin Vapes Done Right
Fresh Press’s award-winning Rosin All-In-One Vape stands out from the typical solvent-based hardware flooding the market. Using iKrusher Tik Pro technology with ceramic atomizers and carefully tuned temperature controls, these 0.5g devices are optimized specifically for hash rosin, preserving terpenes, preventing burns, and maintaining flavor integrity from the first hit to the last.
It’s an ideal entry point for anyone curious about rosin but hesitant to dive into dabbing. Portable, flavorful, and discreet, Fresh Press’s AIO vapes bring solventless purity to your pocket.
Culture, Community, and Collaboration
At its core, Fresh Press is a DIY brand built on authenticity and collaboration. They breed it, grow it, wash it, design it, and market it, all under one roof. Beyond producing premium hash, Fresh Press celebrates SoCal’s creative community through events, artist partnerships, and conceptual drops that blur the line between cannabis and culture.
From “Nothing But Fire” competitions to underground art pop-ups, Fresh Press has cemented its place as a tastemaker brand, a hub for hash enthusiasts and artists alike.
Sustainability & Local Craft
Fresh Press grows indoors in Los Angeles using sustainable mediums like coco and soil, and their ice water extraction method ensures a clean, non-toxic process. Every bit of plant waste is composted, reinforcing their eco-conscious approach to craft cannabis.
What’s Next for Fresh Press
Looking ahead, Fresh Press plans to release new cultivars, collaborations, and product designs, plus limited-edition drops that merge art, hash, and experience. Their upcoming partnerships with Nameless Genetics and Dulze Edibles promise to expand the brand’s creative reach even further.
But the mission remains the same: to elevate the hash scene through education, artistry, and exceptional solventless craftsmanship. For Fresh Press, it’s always quality over all, and that commitment shows in every gram they press.
