The original Cheese strain traces back to the late 1980s in the UK.

It was born out of a peculiar Skunk #1 phenotype found by a group of growers called "Exodus."

With her enticingly sharp aroma and robust, relaxing effects, she quickly gained a cult following. These growers embraced this quirky phenotype, stabilizing the genetics and preserving its distinct character.

Despite its humble origins, the Cheese strain has had a considerable impact on the cannabis world.

Many of her descendants have followed in her aromatic footsteps, championing the unique, cheese-like essence that has now become synonymous with a whole family of cannabis strains.
