It's just what it reads on the tin: you know how to make cheese. Cheese is made of the compressed curds of very spoiled milk. This skill allows you to rot milk in a desirable fashion, how & when to drain the whey (the watery remnants), how to mold and wax the rind, how to extract rennet from mammal stomachs (and how to use substitutes when necessary), what temperatures and other conditions are best for culturing, the best starter cultures, how to extract molds for those cheeses that require such, and how to add flavouring agents such as fruit. Yogurt or other dairy products can be made by a journeyman.
