I'm sure your corys will be fine WITHOUT food - cheese isn't a great food for fish, as it tends to leave a greasy film on the top of the tank, which in turn isn't good for the gas-exchange in the tank.

Unless you intend to live in that block of cheese yourself for several weeks, the fish will be fine. [More fish die from overfeeding than from starvation, and you can certainly leave (adult) fish without food for a week or two without problems].
