It’s National Cheese Lover’s Day, the day we celebrate our love of this alimentary delight in all its myriad forms. By some accounts, over 1000 different cheeses grace our world, each with its own unique texture, flavor, and mouthfeel. One thing that all cheeses have in common is a phosphoprotein called casein and its derivative, casomorphins–morphine-like compounds which bind to the same brain receptors as narcotics and explain why we can’t get enough of this delectable, mouth-watering food.
Cheese-lovers and cannabis-lovers share a passion for strong flavors and aromas and are blessed with a wide variety to choose from when it comes to their favorite cheeses and flower. These rich, sensory experiences come to us courtesy of terpenes, the organic compounds responsible for the unique smells and tastes of your favorite plants, flowers, and fruits. The terpene Linalool gives lavender its sweet and calm-inducing aroma, Limonene creates the olfactory experience when you peel an orange, and Myrcene fills your senses when you cut into a robust Stilton or a ripe Camembert. Terpenes work synergistically with their better-known sister compounds, cannabinoids like CBD and THC, and contribute to the myriad health benefits of the magical cannabis plant. Like your favorite fumé flower, artisan cheeses are rich with terpenes that come from free-range goats, sheep, or cows’ herbaceous diets. Pairing fumé with premium, grass-fed cheeses can further elevate your sensory experience while enhancing its medicinal benefits.
The culinary artists in our fumé test kitchen have dreamed up this otherworldly, terpene-rich cheese board–a perfect pairing for our Mango Kush King Cone with its top notes of mango fruit and other tropical delights. With Mango Kush, a long, slow pull yields an early high, producing a talkative and open vibe then arching into a relaxed euphoric state. You and your guests will feel happy, creative, and energized thanks to terpenes like Myrcene, b-Caryophyllene, and Limonene offered by this exclusive, hand-selected strain.
Our cannabis culinary experts have provided opportunities for culinary creativity and invite you to get creative and make it your own! Think of your cheese board as an artist’s canvas that expresses the essence of you and the vibe you want to invite for your next social gathering.
This year as you celebrate your love of cheese, raise a flute of Mango Kush and enjoy!
