I had no prior knowledge of such a thing, but the best guess for what I could make out was "dancing ant honeydew". As it turns out, there is a connection between ants and honeydew — but it's not honeydew melons. I found this quote from a Scientific American article online: "Aphids feed ants their excess sugars in the form of honeydew, and in return ants protect the aphids against predators". So at this point, "dancing ant honeydew" seems the best prospect. And it really does sound like that.

BTW my nota bene on researching the cheese names was really a facetious reference to a famous Monty Python sketch. I thought I probably ought to clear that up for a non-native English speaker. Sorry if it caused any confusion!
