Cheesemaking/Recipes

Cheesemaking Mechanics

Caves

A few Cheesemaking recipes require

 

Kilderkin

or

 

Firkin

. These cheeses must be aged in caves before they can be consumed.
For example, a

 

Firkin of Camembert Cheese

must be placed in a cool, damp cave for 2 hours.

Caves that are "cool and damp" are those that have water in them.
Some locations where cheese can be aged: Crystal Cavern, Myconian Cave, Brain Bug Cave, New Prestonbule Cave, Wolf Cave, Serbule Hills Spider Cave.
Some locations where cheese can not be aged: Rahu Sewer, Yeti Cave, Eltibule Crypt

Aging

Upon completing aging a cask, you will receive some experience (in addition to that received when crafting the cask, if you had crafted it yourself). This "second round" of experience is unaffected by crafting experience buffs. For casks that produce a variable amount of cheese, the experience received depends on the amount of cheese produced.

Please note, this table is a work-in-progress. Yield of aging may depend on the Cheesemaking Level of the character aging the cask. Note that it is possible to age a cask without possessing the Cheesemaking Level required to produce it. Currently the table reflects the yield when the character aging the cask is exactly the minimum level to produce it (if there are no errors).

Skill Level	Un-aged Cask	Result	Time	XP
2	Firkin of Sour Cream	Sour Cream x 3-4	1 hour	15
28	Firkin of Brie Cheese	Brie Cheese x 1	1 hour	26
31	Firkin of Mogyar Cheese	Mogyar Cheese x 1	1 hour	31
34	Firkin of Camembert Cheese	Camembert Cheese x 1	2 hours	68
40	Firkin of Emmentaler Cheese	Emmentaler Cheese x 1	2 hours	80
44	Firkin of Limburger Cheese	Limburger Cheese x 1	3 hours	132
48	Kilderkin of Danablu Cheese	Danablu Cheese x 2	4 hours	197
50	Firkin of Appenzeller Cheese	Appenzeller Cheese x 2	4 hours	205
54	Kilderkin of Roquefort Cheese	Roquefort Cheese x 2	5 hours	275
57	Kilderkin of Gorgonzola Cheese	Gorgonzola Cheese x 2	5 hours	?
60	Kilderkin of Grasgot Cheese	Grasgot Cheese x 2-3*	6 hours	365-370
63	Kilderkin of Esgarion Cheese	Esgarion Cheese x 2-3*	7 hours	x-451
66	Kilderkin of Cambozola Cheese	Cambozola Cheese x 2-3*	8 hours	533-538
69	Kilderkin of Mur Del Cheese	Mur Del Cheese x 2-3	8 hours	557-562
76	Kilderkin of Stilton Cheese	Stilton Cheese x 2-4	9 hours
78	Kilderkin of Blue-Whisker Cheese	Blue-Whisker Cheese x 3-4*	9 hours	785

*Quantity appears to be random, skewing towards 3 rather than 2 in most cases, or towards 4 rather than 3 for Blue-Whisker Cheese.

Stomachs

A Cheesemaker will often find themselves in need of a Rennet for their recipes.

 

Basic Rennet

,

 

Strong Rennet

, and

 

Pungent Rennet

are crafted through Mycology, and require a supply of

 

Stomach

s to make.

Whey and Sweet Whey

Some Cheesemaking recipes call for a

 

Bottle of Whey

or

 

Bottle of Sweet Whey

. These are acidic byproducts of the Cheesemaking process, and certain cheese recipes will produce them.

Whey and sweet whey can be stacked up to ten per slot.

Soybeans & Tofu

Level 35 cheesemakers can start an arduous journey towards producing Tofu by learning the recipe for

 

Bottle Of Soy Milk

.

 

Soybeans

, the primary ingredient of

 

Bottle Of Soy Milk

, can only be naturally harvested in the wilds of Povus. When properly processed, Tofu can be used in various Cooking recipes.

• 

   

  Soybeans
  can be gathered from Wild Soybean bushes.
• Wild Soybean bushes grow throughout the Fall Harvest season.
• Outside of the harvest season, bushes grow only during the New Moon.
• Wild Soybean bushes can also be harvested for a
  

   

  Soybean Sprout
  , which can later be planted and harvested from a garden.

Tofu Press

Converting

 

Bottle Of Soy Milk

into Tofu requires a Tofu Press.

• During the Fall Harvest, two Tofu Press can be found near Ricatu in the City of Povus.
• Three Tofu Press are hidden in the cellars of the Goblin Dungeon under Eltibule Keep.
