Cream Cheese

Cream Cheese sits squarely in the broader Cheese family that traces its roots to the celebrated UK Cheese phenotype of Skunk #1 discovered in the late 1980s. That original UK Cheese became a cult classic in the UK and Europe, prized for its unmistakable tangy, funky bouquet and reliable yields. As the global market matured in the 2000s and 2010s, breeders began crafting dessert-forward takes on the Cheese archetype, seeking a richer, creamier mouthfeel and softer edges on the classic funk. Some programs blended Cheese with dessert-line genetics like Cookies and Cream and Ice Cream types to achieve a rounder, patisserie-like profile. Cream Cheese is best understood as a Cheese-family expression that emphasizes creamy, confectionary notes layered over the classic UK Cheese backbone. Many breeders reach for Cookies-descended or ice cream-inspired lines to add a silky texture and vanilla-like finish.

Multiple breeders offer Cream Cheese variants, with the most documented being Cream of the Crop Seeds' version, which features genetics of UK Skunk X Afghani with an indica/sativa genotype and Mephisto Genetics' autoflower version derived from Northern Cheese Haze and Iced 'n' Baked. The Northern Cheese Haze brings in that legendary UK cheese funk with an uplifting haze twist. The strain exudes the classic cheese aroma with an intensely stinky presence, complemented by a buttery and exceptionally smooth aftertaste. Its big, dense buds promise generous yields and deliver an uplifting, weightless high.
