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.

So it's labelled "tasty cheese"?

That suggests that you can only buy cheddar there. No other types of cheese.

Other types of cheese are available, it's just that cheddar is not clearly labeled as such since it's kind of the "default".

E.g.

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"
