### About Cheese

Cheese is a dairy product, derived from milk and produced in wide ranges of flavors, textures and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk. Some cheeses have aromatic molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout. Most cheeses melt at cooking temperature.

Cheese is valued for its portability, long shelf life, and high content of fat, protein, calcium, and phosphorus. Cheese is more compact and has a longer shelf life than milk, although how long a cheese will keep depends on the type of cheese. Hard cheeses, such as Parmesan, last longer than soft cheeses, such as Brie. The long storage life of some cheeses, especially when encased in a protective rind, allows selling when markets are favorable.

### How to Make Cheese

To get started, drop a golden shovel on top of a barrel. After a few seconds it should spawn a player head of a cheese bucket on top.

Then you'll need to choose a "bacteria" to place inside.

* Lacto Series: Either Melon Seeds or dig up some Podzol to get melon seeds that have been renamed to "Lacto."
* Shermani Series: Pumpkin Seeds or dig up some Mycelium which will give a pumpkin seed named "Shermani."
* Chymosin Series: Beetroot Seeds or use a bowl and break some fully grown beetroot plants.
* Amoeba Series: Grab a bowl and break some grass path blocks.

Take the bacteria of your choice and choose its corresponding recipe and place them into your crafting grid. This should give you a knowledge book, which on craft, will turn into the bacteria's corresponding curdles:

Then open up your cheese barrel and put the curdles into the first slot of the barrel. You can only make 1 cheese at a time per barrel.

Wait for the bacteria to ferment, then after 10-15 minutes, you will have cheese.

### Cheese cooker

Drop a ancient debris on top of a barrel, and after a while, you will have a cheese cooker.

There are two known recipes for cheese cookers. The first being poutine (saturation for 30 seconds, slowness for one minute), and the second being cheesecake (same effects as butter. effects will be changed in the future).

To create poutine, place a baked potato, any cheese of your choice (edam is suggested as it only gives 2 saturation instead of the regular four), and a bowl in the upper-center part of the barrel, as seen here:

To create cream cheese, you first need to get rubbery bacteria. The recipe for rubbery bacteria is currently not public, so if you want to make cheese cake, your best bet is to dig around the cheese guild discord.
