What Korova does

Korova is a privately-held cannabis consumer packaged goods company founded in 2010 by industry veterans from California's legacy market. It designs, markets, and distributes a multi-format cannabis product portfolio centered on high-potency THC edibles — most notably the flagship Black Bar 1000mg THC cookie-brownie hybrid — alongside Chonker (100mg), Mazapán (100mg full-spectrum Mexican peanut candy with a 15-minute onset), Twerpz ropes, Mini Cookies, Geltabs, disposable all-in-one vape pens (Pineapple Sorbet, Mimosa, Tropical Truffle), and premium cannabis flower (seven proprietary strains including Molotov Cocktail, Three Russians, and Siberian Tiger). The company's underlying technology rests on full-spectrum cannabis infusion and proprietary terpene profiling (Caryophyllene, Humulene, Limonene, Linalool, Myrcene, Ocimene, Terpinolene, Pinene), with flower cultivated in-house at its 'Cult' facility in California's Central Valley (Fresno area) using genetics sourced from partners including Purple City Genetics.

Korova operates a dual-state go-to-market, distributing through licensed California dispensaries and via an exclusive Arizona partnership with multistate operator Trulieve. Wholesale orders are routed through Bud Technology and product discovery is anchored on the WeedMaps marketplace. Manufacturing of edible SKUs is performed by Master Extracts Inc. (DCC-10002326) under a licensing arrangement, which issued a voluntary recall of certain Black Bar batches in California in March-April 2026 after the Department of Cannabis Control detected prohibited THC-O and THC-P. Brand identity is reinforced through a custom artistic collaboration with graffiti artist 3AYEM (Last-Ones), whose integrated artwork is embedded in every jar of flower across multiple strains. The company employs 31 people, does not publicly disclose revenue or funding, and operates with a community/culture-driven marketing posture focused on dispensary presence, Instagram, and email rather than broad paid acquisition.
