These marijuana and cheese combinations will blow your mind

Date night, friends over, a plate in a good restaurant, the old couple wine and cheese. Thanks to the French (and perhaps the Italians too), it is a culinary staple and is sometimes just served as lunch or dinner. But could the new pairing with the mainstreaming of cannabis be different? These marijuana and cheese combinations will blow your mind.

However, if you can’t find these strains, there are other ways to create your own pair. Think of your favorite vaporizer and pair it with a soft cheese or one that brings out the flavors you desire. Or maybe mineral water, a gummy bear, a cheese plate and a favorite movie. The combination possibilities are endless.

Much like oenophiles, weed connoisseurs are careful about the roots and background of their product. How and where the bud grows, as well as aromas and flavors, are as important to serious smokers as a grape is to wine experts. As marijuana becomes more integrated into mainstream society, the worlds of cannabis and culinary are becoming increasingly intertwined. Here are some ideas to start your journey.

The bud: Durban poison
The cheese: Fresh ricotta
Why it works: As one of the highest rated sativas in the country, Durban Poison is best paired with an equally high-quality cheese. The refreshing pine aroma and sweet floral flavor of this variety harmonize perfectly with the soft texture and mildness of fresh ricotta. This Italian whey cheese acts as a simple canvas for the bold flavors of Durban Poison to shine.

The bud: Great Silver Haze
The cheese: Garrotxa
Why it works: Super Silver Haze, the child of Haze, Northern Lights and Skunk No.1, is an extremely popular bud. Since this strain is primarily known for its citrus flavor with sweet and earthy notes, there are many ways to combine it. Garrotxa, a firm goat cheese from Catalonia, is also known for its earthy flavors and is often combined with citrus flavors.

The bud: Blue dream
The cheese: Smoked Manchego
Why it works: Blue Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid and a California original. The bud is synonymous with its sweet berry aroma, reminiscent of its Blueberry parent. To complement the impressive sweetness, pair this variety with a heavily smoked Manchego. The sweet notes of berries and the smokiness of the feta cheese are a winning combination.

The bud: Golden Goat
The cheese: Vermont Sharp Cheddar
Why it works: This versatile bud may have an earthy taste, but its fruity scent can be detected from miles away. Golden Goat’s Hawaiian roots give it a unique light green and pink coloring. And while Hawaii and Vermont aren’t always a natural combination, there’s something special about the way they work together in Weed and Cheese. Vermont Sharp Cheddar pairs best with earthy flavors, the ultimate complement to a bud like Golden Goat.

The bud: SAGE
The cheese: Old bra
Why it works: SAGE or Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium is one of the spiciest strains you can get. With pine, sage and earthy flavors, this bud needs a smooth, light cheese to balance your palate. A slightly less firm cheese like aged bra balances the strong spices found in SAGE. Together, this daring combination creates an unforgettable combination
