1Traditional Imports
This is the heritage of Amsterdam. Imported directly from the Rif Mountains of Morocco or the fields of Lebanon. Perfect for rolling into a joint with tobacco or herbal mix.
Top Pick: Bluebird
Famous for their "Ketama Gold" and "Polm". Prices are reasonable (€12-15), and the quality is consistent. A true Amsterdam classic.
Top Pick: Katsu
A local favorite in De Pijp. Their "Black Bombay" and various Moroccan Polms are legendary. The menu is huge, so ask for a recommendation.
Top Pick: Boerejongens
For value, you can't beat their "White Choco Block". It's a modern hybrid block hash that tastes incredible and burns clean.
2The New Wave: Static & Piatella
This is for the heavy hitters. Using advanced filtration (static tech, fresh frozen material), these products are 3x-4x stronger than traditional hash.
Top Pick: Family First
The absolute temple of terps. They carry Piatella (cold-cured full melt) and Static Sift that bubbles at room temperature. Bring your wallet (€30-100/g).
Top Pick: Green Place
Another heavy hitter near the center. Great selection of "Cali" style dry sift and semi-dry products.
Warning: Potency
Modern extracts can range from 50% to 80% THC. Do NOT treat this like old-school hash. Use a tiny amount.
3Know Your Textures
Blonde / Pollen
Sandy, light color. Crumbles easily without heat. Usually uplifting.
Dark / Afghan
Black, sticky, pliable. Needs to be rolled into a "snake". Heavy body effect.
Filtered / Dry Sift
Clean, melts when touched with flame. Very strong aroma.
Piatella / Rosin
Greasy, almost wet. Must be kept in a fridge. The highest grade possible.
