gabriel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'girl' is the definition.

'being divine cheese is tucked away' is the wordplay.
'being' becomes 'gal' (gal is a kind of being).
'divine cheese' becomes 'brie' (Brie is an example. I am not sure about the 'divine' bit.).
'is tucked away' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'gal' enclosing 'brie' is 'GABRIEL'.

'by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gabriel that I've seen before include "Chief guard of Paradise" , "Archangel who plays the trumpet" , "Trumpet-playing archangel who heralded good news" , "musician" , "Dante - Rossetti, nineteenth century English poet/painter" .)
