About Blue Cheese
Blue Cheese is an indica-dominant hybrid created by crossing Blueberry with the original UK Cheese (an Exodus Cheese cut). The plants produce dense, chunky buds with a frosty trichome layer and a distinctive green-and-purple coloration. The aroma is immediately recognizable: sweet blueberry and berries collide with pungent, savory cheese and skunk notes, creating a complex sweet-savory profile. The flavor is a similar duality — sweet berry inhale followed by a funky, cheese-and-earth exhale with woody and spicy undertones. The effects are relaxing and body-focused without being excessively sedative, making it suitable for evening use while remaining functional. Blue Cheese became a staple of UK coffee shops and dispensaries and remains one of the most popular Cheese crosses ever bred.
Flavor Profile
History
Blue Cheese was bred by crossing Blueberry (a legendary DJ Short creation) with the UK Cheese clone — a pungent Skunk #1 phenotype that originated in the UK in the late 1980s and was propagated by the Exodus collective. The strain emerged in the mid-2000s as a response to the growing popularity of both Cheese and Blueberry genetics in the UK cannabis scene. Multiple seed banks released Blue Cheese versions (Barney's Farm, Big Buddha Seeds, others), with each offering a slightly different expression of the cross. The strain became a staple of UK coffee shops and the British underground cannabis culture. Blue Cheese was particularly popular among growers for its relatively short flowering time and high yields, and among consumers for its unique and memorable flavor profile.
