I wonder how many sf/f stories staring a cheesemaker there are.

 _The Caves of Steirerkäse_ - not really.
 I suppose that Wallace and Gromit doesn't
count although their first excursion is
to the Moon in order to obtain cheese.
(_A Grand Day Out_)  I think it isn't
established that cheese is made there,
it just occurs.
 _Red Dwarf_ has, mostly, one living human
character, 3 million years in the future,
whose bodily excretions possess exaggerated
characteristics, mostly off stage and
represented verbally as in Greek tragedy.
I think a terrifying life form leaps out
of his laundry basket one time, but its
origin is a little more complicated.
 

Similarly to the Wallace and Gromit, I recall
discussion not long ago in this group of a
story in which, for no readily apparent reason,
the Moon is transmuted into cheese.
