Line 1:

'''Jewish Cheese''' is cheese where the cheese-making process was done by a Jew. And '''Non-Jewish Cheese''' is cheese where the cheese-making was done by a non-Jew, with this prohibition being more severe than the prohibition on milk.

'''Jewish Cheese''' is cheese where the cheese-making process was done by a Jew and is thereby rendered as [[kashrus|kosher]]. And '''Non-Jewish Cheese''' is cheese where the cheese-making was done by a non-Jew, with this prohibition being more severe than the prohibition on milk.

The laws of cheese are discussed in Yoreh Deah section 115.

Line 14:

Rabbeinu Tam says that since the law follows Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi, and since today we aren't concerned about exposure (because snakes aren't common among us), the decree is nullified. But the Ramban objected, saying: even though the reason is nullified, since it was forbidden by "a count" (formal vote), it cannot be permitted without "a count." The Tur didn't bring Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi's reason, because we aren't concerned about exposure. Tosafot brought there: that even if the cheese was set with flowers and herbs and the like - it's permitted, and there's nothing to worry about. But the Rambam ruled in the name of the Geonim that the decree applies to all types of cheese.
