“I wrap the temple ball in natural cellophane* (not polypropylene) to avoid oxygen degradation, I store the wrapped temple ball in a glass container that is kept in a dark, cool place, low temp (60°F, 15°C - 17°C) for aging.

Cannabinoid stability is influenced by light, temperature, humidity, and oxygen availability; the choice of container and aging environment is crucial.

Most connoisseurs would agree that the aging process helps mellow the smoke and improves the flavors of hashish, but there is no scientific data available on the subject. However, there are plenty of first-hand reports about quality Hashish as old as 12 years, 3-to-5 years being typical. Like to***co, wine, hard liquor or cheese whose essences are enhanced by their different aging process, hashish aged to perfection has no rival in quality. However, the road to greatness is unpredictable, beyond the craftsman's ability, aging creates the greatest wine, but even a Bordeaux can turn to vinegar.

The aging potential to transform hashish to a higher quality of resin and the added value it implies is too vast to define at the moment. We are at a point in history like the wine industry in the late eighteen-hundreds, good wines were made, but the knowledge of the fermentation process was still unknown to aid in mastering the process and create the great wines we enjoy today. While being a world apart from fermentation, the chemical reaction generated by pressing the loose trichomes heads with a source of heat into a mass which holds in its body the cellular matrix that created the resin, the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other organic matter, has a similar power of transformation, nonetheless. The natural corrosiveness of the terpenes has to be central to the process by dissolving and absorbing the membrane material, lipids and other compounds of the trichome heads into the resin mass.
