Cold mint, clean and sharp.
Exactly what it says. Mint and chocolate, mint and lamb, mint and peas — all long-settled pairings, and this holds up well enough that a baked one works.
In the kitchen
Survives infusion
Infusion is kind to these — every method on this site tops out at 200 °F, below where they go. Decarb is harder on them and a 375 °F bake harder still. They hold up best in something cooked gently or not at all: a no-bake, a sauce finished off the heat, a chilled dessert.
Pure menthol boils at 212 °C / 414 °F. That figure is the isolated compound at atmospheric pressure, not a threshold in a pan. Dissolved in fat it leaves gradually and the butter holds some of it the whole way — which is why the band above is the number to plan around and this one is only a bearing.
The same compound is in peppermint and spearmint — which is the short version of why these pairings work. You are not matching a flavor to the cannabis, you are adding more of something the flower already tastes of.
Peanut butter fudge rolled into balls and dipped so a bare circle shows on top, the way the nut does. Cold, firm centers are what keep the filling out of the chocolate bowl.

Hard-crack brittle taken to 300 °F, with a thin chocolate layer spread across the back of the cooled slab. The chocolate carries the dose, because nothing infused survives a syrup that hot.

An uncooked fondant of confectioners' sugar and coconut oil, chilled hard and dipped in dark chocolate. Firm centers are the whole game — a soft patty smears in the bowl and comes out a lumpy puddle.

From StrainTrackr. Each of these breeders named menthol on their own product page — a claim about their cultivar, not a lab result. Most strains have no terpenes published at all, so this is a sample of what is documented rather than a ranking of what is strongest.
