Cheese is an Artisan Good made from the Cheese Press, taking 3.3 hours. Using Milk will produce normal quality Cheese, while Large Milk will produce gold quality Cheese.
チーズ can be placed inside a Cask to age from normal quality to silver, gold, and eventually iridium quality. Iridium quality doubles the base sell price of チーズ.
Normal, silver, and gold quality チーズ can be prematurely removed from a cask at any time by striking the cask with an Axe, Hoe, or Pickaxe. As of PC v1.11, striking a cask that is ready to harvest (with iridium quality チーズ) with an Axe or Pickaxe will crash the game.
