Cheese is milk curd, pressed into a form and usually allowed to age.  Though not a period heraldic charge, cheese is a period foodstuff, and is thus accepted in Society armory.

Cheese has two depictions in Society armory.  The “wedge of cheese” is a triangular portion cut from a circular wheel:  it’s fesswise, with the wedge’s point to dexter, by default.  The “wheel of cheese” is a disc, with a wedge removed.  Both the wedge and the wheel of cheese are drawn in trian aspect for readier identification.
