Although the origins of classic varieties are not known, Cheese has a somewhat more complete history and is perhaps the most modest of all.
It's hard to imagine a variety that has the aroma and flavor of aged cheese and still feels truly delicious. Today, many hybrids have been developed from this gem. And they largely inherit this unique characteristic that has made it world-renowned, coveted, and even award-winning.
Its origins take us back to the United Kingdom in 1988. A group known as Exodus made a selection of Skunk#1 from Sensi Seeds. Of all of them, one stood out above all others for its intense and distinct cheesy flavor, a trait it also shared with its taste. Cuttings of this strain soon began circulating among close circles of growers.
Its full name is UK Exodus Cheese, referring to the United Kingdom (United Kingdom), the Exodus collective who selected it, and Cheese for its distinct cheesy flavor and aroma. It gradually spread throughout Britain, and is undoubtedly the best-known and best-known strain from the British Isles.
Many banks quickly began creating their own versions and hybrids based on Cheese, and today it's a classic in perhaps more than 70% of seed banks. One of the most classic and delicious is the Cheese x Blueberry hybrid, which boasts a wonderful cheesecake and blueberry flavor in most cases.
Cheese itself is a 100% Skunk strain. Its appearance, growing pattern, ease of cultivation, resistance, yield, and potency are classics of a good Skunk. It has always been considered a well-rounded strain in every sense, ideal for both outdoors, greenhouses, and indoors. However, during flowering, the intense odors can be a problem.
Skunk, a variety developed in the USA by Sam the Skunkman, It's a perfect hybrid of Colombian Gold, Acapulco Gold, and Afghani. After its expansion to Europe, it quickly gained enormous prestige. Its ease of indoor cultivation was leveraged to develop new hybrids. It's undoubtedly a must-have strain for any beginner grower and a classic for veteran growers who want to enjoy the authentic, old-school flavor.
Cheese and its terpenes
Skunk is characterized by its musky, slightly citrusy smell and flavor. But the reason Cheese has that smell is, of course, due to the terpenes. In addition to the linanol and limonene, very typical of Skunk and its hybrids, we find a series of acids present in certain terpenes, in contract the caprylic and the hexanoic. These are also present in the milk of some mammals and in animal fats.
Its buds, as expected, are large, very compact, super resinous, and dark. As for the effects, they are strong and balanced. It has a strong, cerebral start influenced by its sativa genes. Good humor, soft laughter, and red eyes immediately appear. The finish is relaxing due to the Afghan influence, but always maintaining positivity and a certain clarity. Without a doubt, one of the most influential plants in history.
Cheese is a generally easy-care plant that produces very dense, super-resinous buds. It has been perfected over the decades to be very low-maintenance and easy to grow, making it one of the most productive strains.
There's no way you can go wrong with this strain. Perfected since the 1980s, there's not much to complain about. If you like Indica varieties, then this is a must-have. You'll be amazed by its unique aroma and potent effect.
If you're a hash maker, this strain has some of the most potent and flavorful resin to extract.
