why does sharp cheese make my jaw hurt?

I'm not lactose intolerant, I don't have arthritis and am not unhealthy in any way. Very normal person here.
But when I eat really sharp cheeses I (and many others) get that ache in the jaw right before you start salivating like crazy.
What exactly is happening between the cheese and your mouth that makes this sensation?
