Every 100 kcal of cheshire cheese brings 6 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 46th of the 81 dairy foods in this database and 409th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 23.4 g per 100 g ranks 22nd in its group.
Around 24% of the calories in cheshire cheese come from protein, so it is moderately protein-dense. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
By weight, fat outweighs protein in cheshire cheese: 30.6 g of fat per 100 g against 23.4 g of protein, a ratio of 0.8 to 1.
Set against yogurt (whole milk, plain), another dairy food entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.7 g more protein (yogurt (whole milk, plain) has 5.9 g per 1 container).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving quoted here is measured by weight at 28 g, and it covers about 13% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
