I think it's probably from "I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue". I think the game was Film Club, there they have to suggest films that would appeal to a certain demographic. The demographic was "Cheese Makers", and the answers were "Cheeses of Nazareth", then others like "Fromage to Eternity", "The Rock Fort" etc.

Plausible, yes. Most of my cohort are fans of the late Humph & the gang. Barry Cryer, of course, wrote for a lot of other comedians so gags often originate from or propagate via him

Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
