Short fellow leaving cheese (4)
I believe the answer is:
brie
'cheese' is the definition.
(Brie is an example)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brie that I've seen before include "Bergamot-flavoured tea" , "cheesy stuff" , "French cream cheese" , "dairy product" , "Round soft Fr. cheese" .)
