Tell you what.
It is from the β-Carotene in the milk from the grass the cows have eaten.
When the cows cannot eat fresh grass, the cheese is white.
Its not yellow. some cheeses may have a pale yellow - white color but actual yellow or orange cheese comes from annato a natural added color
Cheese is yellow primarily due to beta carotene, a pigment found in the grass eaten by grazing cows, which tints their milk and subsequently, the cheese, cheese can also be yellow or orange because cheesemakers add natural colorants like annatto to achieve a consistent color, as customers expect certain cheeses to be yellow

Cheese isn't all yellow.
Cheese can be yellow due to the presence of beta-carotene in the milk from which it's made.
Some cheesemakers add annatto seed to their cheese because in the 1400s and 1500s, good cheese was yellow. But then, according to Vox Investigate Journalism, "Farmers used to skim cream off milk to make butter, losing the yellow color. They dyed the cheese yellow (using annatto seeds) to convince people it was the same."
Because the cheese reflects red and green light which we perceive as yellow.
