My language is already taken so here's another language where I know the word: 奶酪 (nailao), first character meaning milk, second one I had to look up for the definition: "semi-solid food made from milk"

We call it the same thing as butter. Shit gets confusing sometimes
In NZ English... "Cheese". Though we do have a term "tasty" for a 12-18 month aged cheddar cheese that I don't think is commonly used elsewhere. At the supermarket you're likely to see "mild" or "tasty" not "cheddar".
In Māori, "tīhi". It's a transliteration of "cheese" into a language that has neither a "ch" nor a "s" sound.
