Cheese

When you think of UK weed, what's the very first strain that comes to mind?

Cheese, no doubt about it!

The Cheese weed strain is as British as the Beatles, tea and crumpets, strawberries and cream at Wimbledon, and let's be honest, it's the true Queen of England!

Born through the marriage of Skunk #1 and the ever-enduring landrace Afghani, this 90s UK icon is one of those strains that every self-respecting UK cannoisseur knows better than the back of their hand, and for good reason. It is, quite simply, one of the best strains of all time.

What made Cheese so incredibly popular in the UK, and subsequently throughout Europe, and even in certain parts of the States?

• The Taste - Before Cheese came along, there really wasn't any other strain that offered up anything like its unique, pungent flavour. It's dank, it's tangy, and as the name suggests, it's overly cheese. A savoury affair from start to finish, and louder than most, the flavour and aroma profile can take a little getting used to, but once you are, there's no going back.
• The History - Unlike our lucky friends across the pond, us Brits have never really been blessed with an abundance of top-quality locally produced hybrid weed strains. Until Cheese came along, that is. For a country so steeped in history, having a strain to call our own became a point of national stoner pride, and its popularity only grew from there.
• The High - One of the heavier option's pre-2000, the Cheese weed strain strikes that balance between Indica and Sativa weed genetics in a way that few other strains have managed to since. The high itself is euphoric, relaxed, and just that smidgen of energising at the finish. A true all day option, Cheese is a strain that will always put a smile on your face.
• The Grow - The United Kingdom is many great things, but an outdoor cannabis growers paradise it simply isn't. Finding a strain that will do well in the cool, damp climate we're typically known for is no easy task. But Cheese handles the often-miserable weather like the champion strain it is and will still pump out a decent harvest before autumn hits.
