I have never heard of chihuahua cheese and googling had no results but the following is what I found:
Tyramine is a vaso-active amino acid found in foods. It precipitates headaches in some sufferers. It is an intermediate product in the conversion of tyrosine (an amino acid present in many proteins) to epinephrine (an active hormone produced by the inner portion of the adrenal gland).

Foods that contain tyramine may trigger headaches in migraineurs by facilitating a chain reaction which results in selective cerebral vasoconstriction followed by rebound dilation of the cranial vessels (the most common cause of the throbbing headache pain). This sequence of events is implicated in migraine headache.

Some of the foods containing tyramine are aged cheese, nuts, herring, and chicken livers. . Foods with high concentration of tyramine are contraindicated with MAO1-type antidepressants.

Tyramine is a natural substance formed from the breakdown of protein as food ages. It is found in aged, fermented, or spoiled foods. Generally speaking, the longer a high-protein food ages, the greater the potential tyramine content. Aged cheeses, spoiled meats, some aged and cured meats, Marmite yeast extract, sauerkraut, fermented soybean products (such as soy sauce and miso), broad (fava) bean pods, and draft (tap) beer have the highest levels of tyramine

i latterly did a style attempt the position I had a slice of soy cheese pizza and a slice of dairy cheese pizza. They tasted no longer some thing alike. The soy cheese looked as if it would have a lack of flavour and unusual uncomplicated texture. i have had soy cheese pizza years in the past that tasted like someone had positioned vineger on the pizza. notwithstanding, you could convince your self that soy cheese tastes like dairy cheese, in case you pass lengthy sufficient with out eating dairy. notwithstanding believing some thing does no longer advise it is real.
