What Is the Blue Cheese Strain?
The Blue Cheese strain is an indica-dominant hybrid famous for one of the most unusual aromas in cannabis: a mix of sweet blueberry and pungent, savory “cheese.” It’s one of the most popular strains in the Cheese family, with thousands of user reviews on major strain databases.
Despite the name, Blue Cheese isn’t a food product and doesn’t contain any dairy. The name comes from its parent strains, Blueberry and UK Cheese.
Blue Cheese Strain Genetics
Blue Cheese was created by crossing a Blueberry male with the original UK Cheese. It was bred by Big Buddha Seeds, a UK breeder known for its work with Cheese genetics.
Blueberry
Blueberry is the famous strain bred by DJ Short. It brings sweet, fruity berry notes to Blue Cheese.
UK Cheese
UK Cheese is the legendary British strain behind the whole “Cheese” family. Cheese strains get much of their funky aroma from Skunk #1, and UK Cheese is a phenotype of that classic line. Big Buddha Seeds became well known for its Big Buddha Cheese, and it combined that Cheese expertise with Blueberry to create Blue Cheese.
Blue Cheese Aroma & Flavor
Blue Cheese is all about its distinctive nose. Most batches combine:
- Sweet blueberry from the Blueberry parent
- Funky, savory cheese from the UK Cheese parent
- Earthy undertones that round out the profile
Aroma can vary from batch to batch, with some phenotypes leaning more toward berry and others more toward cheese.
Blue Cheese Strain Effects
Blue Cheese’s effects are mostly calming. According to user reports, the most common effects are feeling:
- Relaxed – a calm, easygoing body feel
- Happy – a pleasant, upbeat mood
- Sleepy – especially later in the session
Because Blue Cheese is higher in THC than average and can be sedating, beginners should start with a small amount. Common side effects include dry mouth and dry eyes.
Who Is Blue Cheese Best For?
Blue Cheese is a great fit if you:
- Enjoy unique, funky aromas rather than simple sweet or citrus profiles
- Want a relaxing strain for evenings or downtime
- Already like berry-leaning or Cheese-family strains
If you’re looking for something more energizing, browse our sativa strains instead.
How to Enjoy Blue Cheese Responsibly
- Start small. Take one or two small puffs and wait several minutes before having more.
- Save it for downtime. Its relaxing, sometimes sleepy effects suit evenings best.
- Store it airtight. Blue Cheese has a strong smell, so keep it in a sealed glass jar away from heat and light.
- Never drive or operate machinery after using cannabis.
- Keep it locked away from children and pets.
