Is cheese a gel?
Pretty simple question really (and one...why, I cannot fathom...has not been asked before, given the BoArd's penchant for fine living) but am I likely to have any trouble taking cheese through security?
Or would it be better checked?

I would say NO. Simple reason is that cheese is a liquid to start with and anything can be mixed into that cheese. I know it may sound OTT but no one really knows.
I would check with the airline or contact the airport security folk.

One thing I do know = it won't travel too well in checked luggage, especially after sitting on hot tarmac for hour or two.

Believe it or not I hate cheese though
