Head Cheese is a cross between 707 Headband and UK Cheese, named for its lineage rather than the homonymous dish. This strain typically boasts a pungent cheesy aroma that grows more earthy as buds are ground. Upon consumption, the initial sweet, cheesy flavor gives way to subtler notes of lemon and spice.

Head Cheese reportedly packs a punch with THC percentages ranging from the mid-to-high 20s. Onset is quick and dominated by a strong head high often characterized as happy, uplifting, or euphoric. The initial wave eventually gives way to more typical indica effects of relaxation and calm.
