(2.) 2 Sam. 17:29, "cheese of kine" = perhaps curdled milk of kine. The Vulgate version reads "fat calves." (3.) Job 10:10, curdled milk is meant by the word.

Literature | Cheese Tusser says that a cheese, to be perfect, should not be like (1) Gehazi, i.e. dead white, like a leper; (2) not like Lot's wife, all salt; (3) not like Argus, full of eyes; (4) not like Tom Piper, "hoven and puffed," like the cheeks of a piper; (5) not like Crispin, leathery; (6) not like Lazarus, poor; (7) not like Esau, hairy; (8) not like Mary Magdalene, full of whey or maudlin; (9) not like the Gentiles, full of maggots or gentils; and (10) not like a bishop, made of burnt milk. (Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry.) A cheese which has no resemblance to these ten defects is "quite the cheese." Bread and cheese. Food generally, but of a frugal nature. "Come and take your bread and cheese with me this evening." A green cheese: An unripe cheese. The moon made of green cheese. A slight resemblance, but not in the least likely. "You will persuade him to believe that the moon is made of green cheese." (See above.) `Tis an old rat that won't eat cheese. It must be a wondrously toothless man that is inaccessible to flattery; he must be very old indeed who can abandon his favourite indulgence; only a very cunning rat knows that cheese is a mere bait. Cheese Something choice (Anglo-Saxon, ceos-an, to choose; German, kiesen; French, choisir). Chaucer says, "To cheese whether she wold him marry or no." "Now thou might cheese How thou couetist [covetest] to calme, now thou Knowist all mi names." P. Ploughman's Vision. It is not the cheese. Not the right thing; not what I should choose. He is quite the cheese or just the cheese- i.e. quite the thing. By a double refinement we get the slang varieties, That's prime Stilton, or double Gloster - i.e. slap bang up.

Cheese selection on market stand in Basel, SwitzerlandCheese is a foodstuff made from the curdled milk of various animals including cows, goats, sheep, and water buffalo. Rennet is often used to induce milk to curdle, although some cheeses are curdled with acids like vinegar or lemon juice. Rennet is an enzyme obtained from the stomach lining of bovine calves, although a microbiological (laboratory produced) substitute is often used. Bacteria are added to cheese to reduce the pH and develop flavor, and some cheeses also have molds, either on the outer skin or throughout. Cheese is naturally yellow. In some parts of the world, such as Wisconsin USA, the milk fat is low in beta-carotene, making the cheese a paler yellow than normal. In this case it is common to add annatto plant dye as a coloring agent.
Major classes of cheese include:
In addition, there is a class of foodstuff known as process cheese or cheese food. The most common form is the individual slices commonly used on cheeseburgers. These are based on natural cheese, but also containing emulsifying salts that help stabilize the product. The heat treatment that it receives during manufacture gives process cheese a mild flavor.
- white mold cheese (e.g. Camembert)
- blue mold cheese (e.g. Roquefort)
- red surface bacteria cheese (all "stinky" cheeses)
- hard grating cheeses (e.g. parmesan)
- cheese with eyes (e.g. Swiss, or Emmental)
- pasta filata cheese (e.g. Mozzarella)
- hard cheese (e.g. Cheddar)
- semi-hard cheese (e.g. Edam and Gouda)
- soft, unripened cheese (e.g. cottage)
- whey cheeses (e.g. Brunost, Mysost, and Gjetost)
The first commercial cheese factory was founded on February 3, 1815 in Switzerland.

Cheese Trivia
Before the advent of space travel, it was believed (for some unknown reason) that the moon was made of a substance similar to cheese.Because of the way it makes the mouth smile the word cheese is said just before someone takes a picture.
Toasted cheese is called Welsh rabbit, but has nothing to do with rabbits and probably not with Wales either.
Cheese Expression
Like chalk and cheese - completely different

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Swiss cheese is the generic name for several related varieties of cheese, originally made in Switzerland.The 450 known Swiss cheeses are classified in 5 categories extra-hard, hard, semi-hard, semi-soft, and soft. Cow milk is used in 99% of the cheeses produced; the remaining share is mostly made up of sheep and goat milk.
Well known Swiss cheese (among others) categorized:
extra-hard:
- Sbrinz
hard:
- Emmentaler, generally known in the U.S. as Swiss cheese
- Gruyere/Greyerzer
- Sap Sago (Glarner Schabziger)
semi-hard:
- Appenzeller
- Bündner Bergkäse
- Mutschli
- Raclette cheese
- Tete de Moine
- Tilsiter
semi-soft:
- Vacherin Mont d?Or
soft:
Three types of bacteria are used in the production of Emmentaler cheese: Streptococcus thermophilis, Lactobacillus, and Propionibacter shermani. In a late stage of cheese production, P. shermani consumes the lactic acid excreted by the other bacteria, and releases carbon dioxide gas, which forms bubbles that appear to be "holes" when the cheese is sliced. The cheese industry calls these holes or tunnels "eyes".
