I sometimes wonder if I am only partially lactose intolerant because I can eat cheese all day and be fine; but if I drink a glass of milk, 30 to 45 minutes later I’m peeing out my ass.
Take a look at the nutrition values of the various kinds of cheeses (where I live it usually lists the macros right on the package). Milk is about 3% carbohydrates/sugar (i.e. 3% lactose), while most cheeses that aren’t white have about 0% sugar.

Ripened cheese has very little lactose in it as the aging process uses lactose as fuel
a lot of cheese is basically lactose free, if it ripened long enough.
