How to Sign "Cheese" in American Sign Language (ASL)

In ASL, "cheese" is signed by making both hands into "C" handshapes and twisting them back and forth against each other, as if wringing out a cloth. This copies how people made cheese long ago. The sign shows up a lot when people talk about food, share recipes, or tell others what they like to eat. It's easy to remember. When talking about special kinds of cheese, people might spell out the exact name to be more clear.
