Swiss Cheese
A hybrid of the discontinued Swiss Miss strain and the fan favorite Skunk #1 strain, Swiss Cheese is said to have been smuggled from the UK to Amsterdam in 2007. The Indica leaning hybrid will have you experiencing mental clarity, physical relaxation, and even some couch-lock. It really is the aroma and flavor that make Swiss Cheese stand out in the crowd. The scent of Swiss Cheese is skunky and pungent like old school bud that will hit you with the feeling of nostalgia if you’re a veteran weed smoker. The taste of Swiss Cheese is, well, cheesy. There are some fruity notes as well as an earthy, peppery bite, but the aftertaste is super cheesy.

Swiss Cheese: Say Cheese!
Swiss Cheese plants are medium height, stocky plants that feature massive buds and long leaves. Pre-harvest, these plants are bright green and appear almost white under certain light. The buds are coated in a thick resin that will stick to your fingers when clipping them. When dried, the nuggs are dank and dense and feature flecks of orange and purple. Breaking these nuggets apart fills the room with a skunky, cheesy aroma that folks seem to really enjoy. While Swiss Cheese hasn’t taken home any major awards, its offspring has. Being featured in High Times magazine, the children of the Swiss Cheese strain are just as popular as their parent. Growers and cannabis fans love this strain for its unique appearance, taste and aroma.
