Nobody ever believed it was cheese. The term "green cheese" doesn't mean cheese that's green, but cheese in it's original state before ageing. The moon does have something of the appearance of this.
That fact probably led to this quote from the 1600s, showing that they didn't think that, even the uneducated farm-folk.
"You may as soon persuade some Country Peasants, that the Moon is made of Green Cheese (as we say) as that 'tis bigger than his Cart-wheel"

Its just a myth. They proposed that statement because they have never actually got a sample from the moon proving it is made of cheese. They proposed that because when u stare at the moon, u will see craters that make the moon look like cheese.

The origin of the term "blue moon" is steeped in folklore,
and its meaning has changed and acquired interesting
meanings and nuances over time. The earliest known
usage was in 1362, in a pamphlet entitled Read Me
and Be Not Wrothe: "Yf they say the mone is belewe,
we must beleve that is true." (If they say the moon is blue,
we must believe that is true.) This implies the expression
had a meaning of something that was absurd, and
bears a close resemblance to another moon-related
adage first recorded in the following year:
"They would make men beleue... that beleve the Moone
is made of grene chese."
(They would make men believe... that the moon is
made of green cheese.)

Because
. Our moon has craters that look like cheese holes
. The color was like cheese
. the saying was developed before the moon was explored

Have you ever seen swiss cheese? It is pale yellow, with lots of holes in it. The moon's appearance (to the naked eye) is similar, with the holes actually being craters.

It began because of color and surface feature observable to the naked eye (craters). Compare the appearance of the moon to the appearance of swiss cheese...

It's simple:
The Moon is yellow.
Cheese is yellow.
Ergo, the Moon is cheese.
That's cast iron logic.

Maybe because of the appearance of the moon at night and because of its craters.
