The best cheese strains to try

With over 150 smell molecules called terpenes that can manifest in the cannabis plant, consumers can find just about any flavor profile under the sun to suit their personal palates. There’s fruity strains, gassy strains, earthy strains, and sour strains. But what about cheese weed strains? 

Cheese weed and cheese as a flavor profile might sound weird, but in the ’80s and ’90s, UK Cheese, a phenotype of the classic Skunk #1, burst onto the scene to rave reviews, and cultivators soon started growing it on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. UK Cheese and its many successors not only have a nose that resembles a charcuterie board (cheddar, parmesan, gouda, brie, etc), they also evoke a unique kind of cerebral exhilaration while zapping physical ailments.
