What is the Cheese strain?

Cheese is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and cheese and earthy flavor profile.

The Cheese strain has its origins in the United States in the 1980s, when legendary breeder Sam "the Skunkman" of Sacred Seeds transported his iconic Skunk #1 genetics to Amsterdam. Growers in the UK caught wind of these genetics in the late 1980s, where an unknown grower discovered a unique phenotype with a particularly cheesy aroma not seen in regular Skunk #1 plants, which was then preserved and eventually ended up in the hands of The Exodus Collective. Known for their social activism and massive free parties, Cheese gained enormous popularity in the UK cannabis scene and has remained at such heights ever since. Originating in the United Kingdom during the 1980s, cheese genetics trace their lineage to a unique Skunk #1 phenotype that stood out for its pungent, cheese-like aroma. Cheese strains are known for their dense, resin-coated buds that exude a rich, savory aroma reminiscent of aged cheese with hints of earthiness and spice, and often produce plants that are indica-dominant or balanced hybrids. The strain is characterized by its distinctive appearance, with medium to tall plants that develop strong branches and sharp leaflets, making it easily recognizable among cannabis varieties.
