Genetic Information

Fondue is a strain brought to us by Little Lake Valley Seed Company. It’s a blend that marries old-school funk with some of the newest fruity flavors on the block. A cross of UK Cheese and Faux Fana (Banana OG x Heirloom OG) x Sunset Sherb, this strain makes no effort to be subtle — it’s unapologetically loud.

The moment I cracked the seal and spun off the jar’s lid, a fume of cheese funk targeted my nose with military precision, leaving a lingering sweet note in its wake. My eyes widened, and a giddy grin spread across my face — Cheese is a funk that’s truly fondue to my heart!

Look, Taste and Effects

Peering into the jar, I was greeted by a greasy, creamy slab of rosin that perfectly lived up to its name — a rich, melted piece of fondue cheese in all its decadent glory. The texture was soft and inviting, almost daring me to dive in. I dipped my dabber into the luscious slab, savoring how it yielded effortlessly, and carefully portioned out a generous dab. With my Puffco fired up, I could feel the anticipation building as I waited for the temperature to rise. The gentle vibration in my hand was my cue — it was go time.

I began to inhale, and my lungs were immediately met with an explosion of flavor — a bold, funky cheese tang intertwined with an unexpected sweetness that lingered on my palate like the briny kick of a well-aged gouda. Each pull was a symphony of terps, a unique balance of savory and sweet that felt indulgent yet somehow refined.

As the session continued, I felt the effects settle in, starting with a warm, euphoric buzz in my mind before radiating through my body. My muscles softened, tension melted away, and I found myself floating in a state of deep relaxation. Yet, despite the soothing physical effects, my mood remained light and upbeat, leaving me functional and engaged, with a smile I couldn’t seem to wipe off my face. Fondue is not just a treat for the senses — it’s an experience, one that leaves you both grounded and uplifted in the best possible way.
