Also known as: Stilton Cheese, Stilton Blue

What is the Stilton strain?

Stilton is a indica cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and cheese flavor profile.

Stilton is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the British seed company Dutch Passion. The strain was created by crossing the classic indica strain Cheese with the potent indica-dominant hybrid Blueberry. The name references both its genetic heritage and its distinctive aroma profile that some users describe as reminiscent of the famous English blue cheese, though the connection is primarily aromatic rather than flavor-based. First introduced in the early 2000s, Stilton has gained popularity among indica enthusiasts for its balanced effects and unique sensory characteristics.

The strain produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures. The buds are covered in a thick layer of trichomes and orange pistils, giving them a frosty, appealing look. Stilton plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure typical of indica varieties, making them suitable for indoor cultivation where space is limited. The strain's aroma is complex, combining earthy, cheesy notes with sweet berry undertones from its Blueberry lineage.

Stilton is known for its relatively fast flowering time and good resistance to common molds and pests, making it a suitable choice for novice growers. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in the cannabis market due to its reliable effects and distinctive terpene profile. While not as widely available as some mainstream indica strains, Stilton has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its unique sensory characteristics and balanced indica effects.
