Quick answer
Blue Cheese is the Blueberry x UK Cheese indica classic from Big Buddha Seeds, testing 15-20% THC. Sweet berry over savoury cheese funk, relaxed happy euphoric high. 3rd Place Indica, High Times 2009.
Blue Cheese is the strain that proves weird crossings beat safe breeding: sweet blueberry over proper cheese funk, a combination that should clash and instead became a classic. The high is comfortable and happy - an evening session strain that leaves room for conversation. At 15-20% it's a gentle classic in a world of 30% bruisers. The funk is polarizing: if the smell makes you hungry, you're in the right crowd. If it makes you recoil, fair enough - more for the rest of us.

The story of Blue Cheese
UK Cheese is cannabis folklore: a Skunk #1 phenotype that a grower in Cheshire, England found in a Sensi Seed Bank pack in the late 80s and propagated through clone networks because the cheese-funk smell was unlike anything else. It became the UK's signature strain. Meanwhile in Oregon, DJ Short's Blueberry had redefined what fruit sweetness could be. Big Buddha Seeds crossed them in the early 2000s, and Blue Cheese was born - berry sweetness over savoury funk. It took 3rd Place Indica at the 2009 High Times Cup. The strain proved that the weird crossing of two icons beats the safe breeding of one.

Blue Cheese's dominant terp is Caryophyllene, and it leads the flavour on every inhale.
Growing Blue Cheese
Blue Cheese grows indica-structured and forgiving: 8-9 week flowering, compact height, decent mould resistance, and reliable yields. The buds are dense with blue-purple potential from the Blueberry side in cool nights, frosted and sticky. The Cheese funk through flower is pungent - filtration matters. It's a good strain for growers transitioning from beginner to intermediate: forgiving of errors, rewarding of attention, and the flavour outcome is genuinely distinctive either way.
How to consume Blue Cheese
The high is a comfortable evening indica: relaxed, happy, euphoric, with a body ease that never quite becomes couch-lock at moderate doses. At 15-20% THC it's one of the more approachable classic strains - a gentle session flower for conversation, music, or a film. A joint shared or a bowl before a relaxed evening suits it. Best for: stress, low mood, appetite, and smokers who find modern 28% strains exhausting. The cheese funk is polarizing - people love it or hate it, rarely in between.
Blue Cheese vs similar strains
Blue Cheese vs Blue Cheesecake: the dessert cousin is sweeter and fruitier; Blue Cheese is funkier and more savoury. Blue Cheese vs Blue Dream: both Blueberry descendants - Dream is the sativa lift, Blue Cheese is the indica comfort. Blue Cheese vs Bubba Kush: both classic evening indicas - Bubba runs coffee-chocolate, Blue Cheese runs berry-funk. The Cheese heritage connects to the whole UK skunk-funk lane.

Where does the cheese flavour come from?
The UK Cheese parent - a Skunk #1 phenotype discovered in Cheshire, England in the late 80s and preserved through clone networks. Its savoury funk is unique in cannabis.
Storing Blue Cheese
The Cheese funk is famously durable - UK Cheese genetics were literally preserved for decades through clone networks, and the terps are built to last. Airtight glass, cool dark storage, 58-62% humidity pack. The berry sweetness fades first; the cheese funk persists essentially forever. Old jars of Blue Cheese taste more cheese and less berry, which many fans consider an improvement. The most forgiving strain on the menu to store, alongside its Cheese ancestors.
