Cheese is a food formed by curdling proteins in milk, and comes in many different varieties. Both wizardkind and Muggles ate cheese.

History

A horn used in the Goblin Rebellion of 1612 was stuffed with Gorgonzola cheese to mute it. The horn was kept in the Bell Tower Entrance Hall.

The book Charm Your Own Cheese, published in various versions by Greta Catchlove and Gerda Curd, covered magical cheese-making in a variety of ways. Curd's edition covered such topics as dragon milk cheeses, cured and cursed cheese, and Cheese-Based Potions.

Cheese was a flavour of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.

At some point in wizarding history, Humphrey Belcher created the cheese cauldron, believing it to be a great invention. He was, in the words of Albus Dumbledore, "woefully wrong", and the cauldron never caught on.

In 1927, the Parisian store Crèmerie had a display of cheeses on its storefront.

During the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Severus Snape taught sixth year students how to brew Cheese-Based Potions in Potions class.

On 31 July 1992, Harry Potter was served a supper that consisted of merely two slices of bread and a lump of cheese, as the Masons were visiting 4 Privet Drive that night and the Dursleys wanted Harry out of the way as quickly as possible.

A slab of cheese covered in furry green mould was among the unique "foodstuffs" served at Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington's five-hundredth Deathday Party on 31 October 1992.

As part of his Smeltings Academy-mandated diet, Dudley Dursley ate a lunch of cottage cheese and grated celery on the day that the Weasley family had come to pick up Harry in 1994. Due to fear at meeting wizards again, he neglected to protest at the amount of food he was served, as he had been doing all summer.

By Christmas of 1995, Kreacher's bedroom at 12 Grimmauld Place had acquired, among various other filth, mouldy bits of discarded cheese.
