UK Cheese

Grab your charcuterie board and get ready to delight yourself with this delectably pungent cheese strain! The UK Cheese, of course, hails from the great British Isles, and was created by inbreeding the infamous Skunk #1. It also goes by the name of Exodus Cheese, named after its original creators at Exodus breeders. It is also sometimes referred to as simply Cheese, or  Cognitiva. It is a hybrid strain that tends to be sativa leaning, though offers a nice balance of effects. UK Cheese carries up to 23% THC concentration in addition to 1% CBD and 1% CBN, and offers a fast acting and euphoric high. Its balanced blend of effects make it a favourable choice for those seeking the best of both worlds, though its unique and bold flavour profile of cheese notes with a hint of sweetness make it an even more popular choice amongst cheese and pungent strain lovers!

Effects

UK Cheese should be consumed sparingly as its effects are fast acting, and they will hit you hard! As a balanced hybrid, you’ll feel both body and head highs, and it is primarily intensely euphoric. It is a great mood lifter that will have you feeling upbeat, happy, focused and lively, catering to those who suffer from fatigue, stress or depression. It is also relaxing physically and mentally, so despite its upbeat nature, it can help relax you enough to fall asleep if you suffer from insomnia. These relaxing effects in combination with its uplifting nature make it ideal for alleviating chronic pains, migraines, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Medical usage aside, it’s a great well-rounded, feel good type of strain for when you simply want to relax!

THC Content

The UK Cheese strain offers from 20% to 23% THC potency on average, plus around 1% CBD and 1% CBN, which adds to its dynamic effects. A hybrid, it can typically be sativa or indica leaning, but caters more towards sativa-like effects. It is a phenotype of Skunk #1, and was created as a result of its inbreeding. Skunk #1, or Skunk, is one of the most popular strains of all time, and was also originally created in Europe in Holland a few decades ago, though it was the result of crossing a few landraces found in South and Central Americas, Thailand and Afghanistan. The Skunk strain is indica dominant with a ratio of 65% indica to 35% sativa. It also carries about 1% CBD and 1% CBD, though its THC levels sit closer to around 19% on average.

Appearance & Aroma

The nuggets of UK Cheese are large and fluffy with a bit of an elongated shape. They take on a more sativa-like appearance with its loose flowers. This strain has a darker forest green colouring, and its orange pistils twist all throughout. It is sticky at the touch due to its crystal trichomes, and their shimmer give off a dewy appearance. It is known to be a strongly pungent strain, a trait that it proudly takes from Skunk #1. Because of this, it is not recommended if you are looking to be discreet as it’ll permeate the air! The dominant aromas are tangy, skunky, though with a bit of a light sweetness that can be similar to blue cheese! There are also notes of earthiness. Upon exhale, these same scents can be tasted in addition to a smooth creaminess. It is quite pungent and not for everybody, though cheese and skunk lovers will adore this unique taste!
