cheeselike
Like aged curd
Cheeselike describes something resembling cheese in texture, appearance, smell, or taste without actually being cheese.
The word often appears in unflattering contexts—a cheeselike substance found in unwashed skin folds, or a cheeselike coating on spoiled food.
Medical writing uses it clinically: The wound produced a cheeselike discharge.
