Through our precise, GMP compliant, technologically advanced and scientifically driven CBD extraction process, Vantage Hemp is able to produce large scale, full spectrum distillate and isolate.
Vantage Hemp’s systematic farming practices combine real agriculture and real science to ensure our production is of the highest standard in the industry, or what we like to call—White Glove Farming.
Our dedication to sustainability and transparency goes beyond just using those words. Vantage Hemp tracks the supply chain lifecycle of our extracts from the initial planting through the extraction process and all the way to the processing and sales of our oils, distillates, and isolates.
The most common extract, full spectrum Oil contains more than 100 different active cannabinoids, as well as a variety of different healthy compounds, such as terpenes, phytocannabinoids and flavonoids.
CBD Distillate is created by further processing the full spectrum oil through distillation. This process removes impurities while still leaving minor traces of beneficial terpenes and cannabinoids.
As the purest form of CBD, CBD Isolate is processed to remove any remaining impurities—thus also removing nearly all taste and smell from the extract.
Our precise, practiced and perfected transplanting process uses experienced growers and the latest science and technology, to consistently produce the same pure and premium CBD products.
Producing exceptional CBD extracts starts with our professional growers, who use their expertise to select the highest quality seed and carefully tend the fields throughout the entire growing season. This meticulous method ensures ultimate plant health and maximizes CBD content while maintaining the legal limit for THC during the harvest.
Vantage Hemp has developed a specific multi-stage process that succeeds thanks to the scientific steps we take. In fact, this process begins months before the extraction of biomass even happens and is crucial to our ability to deliver consistent, pharmaceutical grade, CBD extracts.
Incorporating the latest technology such as CBD testing and field record software and precision planting techniques into our White Glove Farming process is just another way we show our commitment to excellence for the CBD extracts we produce.
