What dietary preference do you have checked? Things like "dairy free" and "paleo" already omit cheese, except for those cheeses for which we have substitutes that match the overall dietary preference. If you type in "cheese", that will give you a list of every cheese used by our recipes that is not already excluded by your dietary preferences.

I've only checked 'Clean Eating.' The cheeses in the 'other' drop-down checklist are feta, fontina, goat, ricotta, and shredded parmesan.

I just tried switching from clean to 'no preference' and saw the cheeses in the 'other' list expand to the ones I expected to see. I suppose its reasonable to exclude swiss and mozzarella from 'clean' eating, but ideally for me would be a 'clean-but-not-that-clean' option that restricts refined sugars and flours, but not dairy. That may be idiosyncratic, I know.

Ah, your best bet would be a low carb plan. You'll still have dairy and whole grains in moderation but no refined sugars and flours.
