Editorial profile

OG Cheese in detail

Origin & classification

OG Cheese is an indica-dominant strain from Old Skunk × Afghani. With up to 25 % THC, OG Cheese clearly falls into the stronger range. CBD, at up to 0 %, plays more of a minor role.

Aroma & flavour

In terms of aroma, OG Cheese is primarily cheesy, flowery and skunky. Linalool, limonene and caryophyllene fit this impression well and give the profile additional depth. This places the profile more in a classic direction than in a modern dessert or candy scheme.

Terpene profile

OG Cheese is generally described as euphoric and relaxing in terms of its effects. This is precisely what often makes the strain interesting, as it does not lean in just one direction but appeals to both mind and body.

Effect tendency

Many sources describe the strain as not one-dimensional, but as potent without a single aspect taking centre stage.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

OG Cheese is therefore especially suited to people who want to experience aroma and effects together in as balanced a way as possible. Those who enjoy classic, direct and not overly polished strain profiles may find this direction more appealing than purely trend-driven strains.

Further classification

OG Cheese starts out rather old-school: cheesy, flowery and skunky. With a maximum of 25 % THC, OG Cheese moves into the stronger corner of the strain spectrum. CBD is only mildly expressed in OG Cheese, at up to 0 %. Its effects are described as euphoric and relaxing. The heritage of Old Skunk x Afghani makes OG Cheese’s genetic direction easy to understand. In OG Cheese, the aroma is not merely an addition but a central part of the strain’s identity. Caryophyllene adds a spicy, slightly peppery edge to the overall profile of OG Cheese. When classifying OG Cheese, it is important that its active side does not stand alone but is balanced by calmer effects. The genetic clues suggest a rather classic, heavy and robust side to OG Cheese. When assessing OG Cheese, its potency should remain visible without reducing the strain to its THC value. In cultural terms, OG Cheese comes across as more accessible than particularly challenging.
