Kiva Confections is a budding business in the marijuana industry that aims to set a high bar for marijuana chocolates and other pot confections.
Kristi Knoblich Palmer, Kiva’s COO and co-founder, said her company is different from other marijuana edible firms because it adheres to strict testing standards. The company makes its cannabis extract from trim, which are leftovers from marijuana harvest. From there, it tests the plants to make sure there are no pesticides or contaminants before it is used in chocolates. She went through the process of how a confection is made, which involves intensive labor as each bar is hand poured and packaged.
