A tree or shrub with wood that resembles cheese in appearance or texture, or wood used to make cheese-related items like molds.
Compound of 'cheese' and 'wood'. This appears to be either a folk name for a tree (as in various plant common names) or wood traditionally used in cheese production.
Common names for plants and materials often reveal what people made with them—if a wood was called 'cheesewood,' people likely used it for cheese molds or presses, making the name a historical clue.
