Blue Cheese Essentials: What You Need To Know Before You Try

Where does the Blue Cheese strain name come from?

It may be easy to think that the smell gave this cultivar its name, but the story’s actually a lot more basic than that. The Blue Cheese name comes from its two parents, Blueberry and Cheese (also called UK Cheese).

What does Blue Cheese cannabis smell like?

As the genetics suggest, this strain smells like a funky fruity herb combo. There are pungent notes of funky fancy cheese and dark jammy berries or wine — sort of like a good charcuterie board. These scents are attributed to a dominant terpene profile of myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and others. Check your product’s lab test results, called a certificate of analysis (COA), to find out more about that specific product’s terpenes.

What is the genetic lineage of the Blue Cheese cannabis cultivar?

Blue Cheese is the avant-garde European child of a pedigreed Skunk #1 phenotype, called Cheese or U.K. Cheese, and the ever-infamous, fruity, legacy strain Blueberry.

Like many strains, though, Blue Cheese’s history is a bit murky. Archival cannabis forums share that, in 1988 or 1989, the Cheese pheno was first sprouted from a single plant, very specifically in the Chiltern Hills of southern England, from the seeds of a Skunk #1 strain. This iteration of Skunk #1 was so good that it was named Cheese and cloned repeatedly. It then had a very punk European experience in the ‘90s. That’s a story for another time, but a testament to the truly global nature of cannabis.

What cannabinoids are in Blue Cheese?

Blue Cheese cannabis flower will contain a THC percentage in the late teens, around 18% to 19%, and may also have up to or around 1% CBD. Cannabigerol (CBG) may be present as well. If you’re unfamiliar with your cannabis potency tolerance, take note of figures like this on the cannabis products you buy.
