Truckle
(Redirected from Cheese wheel)
Look up truckle in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
A truckle is a cylindrical wheel of cheese, usually taller than it is wide[citation needed], and sometimes described as barrel-shaped.[1][2] The word is derived from Latin trochlea, 'wheel, pulley'. Truckles vary greatly in size, from wax-coated cheeses sold in supermarkets, to 25-kilogram (55-pound) or larger artisanal cheeses.
