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.

Seemingly a cooking show with industrial shit and a microwave, I don't. It must be british, is it not?
It’s American. From Utah I believe. Guy did a series of cooking videos for college kids and one of them was edited with sad music and went viral.

Juusto
Finnish? I had something called leipa juusto in Finland and it was a very interesting experience
Yes. Leipäjuusto (literally bread cheese) is like the only uniquely Finnish type of cheese that I can think of. Very mild and very squeaky
Also, to any anglophones reading, the j is pronounced like y, so it'd sound like "yuusto" to your ears
