Mainly, the taste of cheese comes from fat, making up 70-80% of the calories in the cheese. This is the base taste that makes something taste like cheese.

On top of this, different cheeses have different tastes caused by the differing protein makeup of the milk from different animals used to make the cheese.

Finally, bacteria can be added which breakdown the fats/proteins to add yet more different flavors
