A bit weird for cheese to be something only a single small village makes. If it was a specialty cheese, or something along those lines, sure, but just plain old cheese? It's not like making cheese is difficult, so surely it would have spread.

It's not.
You just don't pour milk into a pot and voilà, it's cheese.

You need specific bacteria to turn lactose into a specific type of cheese, not right temperature and presence of other bacteria or fungi will ruin the process.

I'm lactose intolerant and cheese kills my gut, Worth It.

Impossible, since yellow cheese and hard cheese has safe amount of lactose for everyone, it's below 0.1% to 5% is tolerable.

So even tomatoes are rare and not appreciated? I don't buy it! After all, Italians first grew the tomato about 1550 and apparently were the first Europeans to eat it. About 25 years later it was grown in English, Spanish, and mid-European gardens as a curiosity, with little or no interest in it then as food.

Tomatoes were considered a garden plant at best in 15th to early 18th century, they weren't that big nor that red (they were more yellow) at first, not larger than grapes.

Tomatoes are member of the deadly nightshade family, tomatoes FRUIT were erroneously thought to be poisonous because their yellow to bit red colour which would serve as natural warning, although the leaves ARE poisonou. Nevertheless, Europeans were suspicious.

Since tomatoes are acidic, roman tableware that had led was also partly responsible for led poisoning as it leeched to food, making it probably not as popular.

Tabaco thought, was fine all the way till 20th century lol

If it makes money, then they would make a lot more cheese for export. That's because both the nobles that rule that area as well as the Elesys King would want their tax and tithe money as well as the usual "goods in kind" that farmers and serfs are required to pay. Oh well, this author seems to ignore taxes and fees since everyone has enough money and there are neither slums nor poor people anywhere.
