Dairy product church head decrees is off (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cheddar cheese

'dairy product' is the definition.
(cheddar cheese is a kind of dairy product)

'church head decrees is off' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'is off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'head'+'decrees'='headdecrees'
'headdecrees' anagrammed gives 'eddarcheese'.
'ch'+'eddarcheese'='CHEDDAR CHEESE'

(Another definition for cheddar cheese that I've seen is " Somerset dairy product".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
