cow's milk cheese

Cheddar, for example

Cheese made from the milk of cows, as distinguished from cheese made from goat's milk, sheep's milk, or other sources.

Most familiar cheeses—cheddar, mozzarella, brie, Swiss—are cow's milk cheeses.

The term typically appears when a menu or shop offers alternatives: The goat cheese is sharper, but try the cow's milk cheese if you prefer something milder.
