Lily Extracts stands as New Jersey's premier solventless cannabis concentrate manufacturer, specializing in premium live rosin products that preserve the plant's full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes. Their product lineup includes cartridges, disposable vapes, concentrates, and most recently, vegan rosin chews—making them the first provider of solventless edibles in New Jersey's adult-use market.What sets Lily Extracts apart is their meticulous ice water extraction process, which uses no chemical solvents, only pure, filtered water. They exclusively use fresh-frozen cannabis flower to ensure maximum preservation of the plant's natural compounds. This technique results in concentrates that deliver the authentic flavor, aroma, and effects of the original strain.With operations based in Garfield, Bergen County, Lily Extracts has established partnerships with select cultivators who meet their rigorous standards. The company maintains a micro-business structure, capped at ten employees, allowing them to focus on craftsmanship and innovation rather than mass production. Their products are available at dispensaries throughout the Garden State, bringing their unique "mass spectrum" approach—which emphasizes a full range of beneficial cannabinoids beyond just THC—to cannabis consumers who prioritize quality and purity.
Founded in December 2023 by Richard Giglio and Angel Cruz, Lily Extracts emerged from a shared frustration with the lack of quality cannabis concentrates in New Jersey's market. This dynamic duo combined their extensive industry experience—Giglio's entrepreneurial vision and Cruz's deep roots in California and Colorado cannabis scenes dating back to 2001—to create New Jersey's first independent solventless extract manufacturer.Their journey began with a four-month development process, culminating in the debut of their signature live rosin products. What started as a two-person micro-business has rapidly expanded, while maintaining their craft approach and attention to detail. The founders' passion for purity and authentic cannabis experiences drives every decision, from partnering with quality cultivators to designing innovative products.Lily Extracts represents not just a business venture but a mission to elevate New Jersey's cannabis standards through education, transparency, and uncompromising quality in every product they create.
