Butter Cheese by Ab Seed Company
Classic Cheese Strains × Tropical Cultivars
Butter Cheese is a hybrid strain developed by A.B. Seed Company, created by merging classic cheese genetics with tropical cultivars. It is noted for its balanced effects and aromatic complexity, emerging from a period of innovative breeding in the early 2010s.
Appearance
Butter Cheese plants produce dense, resinous buds often displaying vibrant green and deep purple hues. A frosty layer of trichomes covers the buds, contributing to a crystalline appearance and a characteristic buttery sheen. The buds typically develop impressive sizes, with some reaching over three inches in diameter when mature, and often feature tightly packed colas.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Butter Cheese is a complex blend of buttery, creamy notes with the distinct tang of aged cheese, sometimes described as reminiscent of gourmet cheese with a hint of toast. Its flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering smooth dairy undertones that transition into a richer, tangier cheese taste. Users report a dynamic evolution of sweet and savory notes on the palate.
Effects
Butter Cheese is characterized by its balanced effects, stemming from its hybrid genetics. Consumers have reported experiencing a sense of creativity and euphoria, often accompanied by a tingling sensation. The strain is appreciated for providing a nuanced experience that is both uplifting and grounding.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Genetic analysis suggests Butter Cheese often exhibits elevated terpene levels, with myrcene and caryophyllene frequently reported. These terpenes contribute to its characteristic creamy, pungent, and peppery aroma. The strain typically contains around 18% THC and less than 1% CBD.
Growing
Butter Cheese is considered a reliable strain for cultivation, with growers reporting uniform bud development and successful harvests. Under optimal indoor conditions, plants can yield between 500 to 600 grams of dried bud per square meter. The strain exhibits resilience and robust flavor production, making it an attractive option for commercial growers.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by A.B. Seed Company in the early 2010s, Butter Cheese was created by combining elements from classic cheese strains with newer hybrid techniques and tropical cultivars. This breeding effort aimed to synthesize pungent cheese aromas with subtle tropical undertones, resulting in a well-balanced hybrid with approximately a 50/50 indica-sativa ratio.
