Morphology

handcraft + cheeseware

The phrase is compositional: 'handcrafted' clearly means made by hand and 'cheeseware' can be transparently parsed as 'cheese' + 'ware' (ware = dishes/goods). Even if 'cheeseware' is an uncommon coinage, the meaning 'items for serving or preparing cheese' follows directly from the constituents and common English compounding patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the parts can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Handcrafted cheeseware creates the image of a maker shaping boards, plates and small tools by hand for cheese; handcrafted means made by hand and cheeseware means dishes or utensils for cheese. So, the phrase refers to handmade dishes and tools used to 'serve' or 'prepare' cheese.
