In Stardew Valley, gold cheese is a valuable commodity. To get gold cheese, players must first obtain a cheese press, either by reaching Farming level 6 or by completing the Animal Bundle in the Pantry of the Community Centre. Once players have access to a cheese press, they can use large milk to produce gold cheese. This gold cheese can be sold for a profit, or it can be placed in a cask to age and improve its quality over time, eventually reaching iridium quality.

What You'll Learn
Use a cheese press
To make gold cheese in Stardew Valley, you'll need a cheese press. This is a piece of artisan equipment used to make cheese from milk and goat milk.
There are two ways to get a cheese press:
- Complete the Animal Bundle in the Pantry room of the Community Centre. This is the reward for completing this bundle.
- Reach Farming level 6, which unlocks the crafting recipe for the cheese press.
Once you have your cheese press, you can turn all kinds of milk into cheese in 200 minutes (3.3 hours). The star quality of the milk does not change the quality of the cheese. However, to make gold cheese, you will need to use Large Milk, which produces gold quality cheese. Regular milk will only produce regular quality cheese.
If you're looking to make the most valuable cheese, you'll want to age your gold cheese in a cask to increase its value. Gold cheese only needs to age for one week to be ready, whereas regular cheese takes two full weeks to mature. You can also age your gold cheese into iridium-grade cheese, which is the most expensive type of cheese you can produce.

Use large milk
In Stardew Valley, the open-ended country-life RPG, players can use Large Milk to make Gold Cheese. Regular milk will only produce regular cheese, but Large Milk will produce gold quality cheese.
Large Milk can sometimes be converted into regular cheese, and some players opt to sell the Large Milk instead of turning it into cheese. This is because, in some cases, Large Gold Milk is worth more gold than the resulting Gold Cheese. However, if you have the Artisan perk, it is worth more to turn it into cheese.
To make Gold Cheese, you will need a Cheese Press, which is unlocked by completing the Animal Bundle in the Pantry. Using the Cheese Press takes 3.3 hours. Gold Cheese sells for 360g.
If you want to get Iridium Cheese, you will need to age the Gold Cheese in casks. Casks are unlocked when you get the third house upgrade from Robin.

Age in a cask
In Stardew Valley, a Cask is a type of Artisan Equipment used to age Artisan Goods. Casks can be used to age items such as beer, cheese, goat cheese, mead, pale ale, and wine, increasing their quality and value.
To craft a cask, players will need to unlock the cellar upgrade for their house. The cellar comes with 33 casks, and it is possible to fill it with up to 125 casks on a PC, leaving paths to reach all of them.
A star will appear on the front of the cask, denoting the quality of the item inside. Normal, silver, and gold quality items can be removed prematurely from a cask at any time. Casks can produce items with "iridium star" quality, which is the highest level of quality, doubling the value of an item.
Different types of items take different amounts of time to age. Wine, for example, takes the longest, with two seasons of aging required to go from basic wine to iridium-quality wine.
When it comes to cheese, players can place any cheese in a cask to make a good amount of money. Regular cheese takes two full weeks to mature, while gold cheese only needs one week. Iridium goat cheese is the most expensive dairy product players can sell.
For those looking to maximize profits, filling the cellar with as many casks as possible is recommended. Additionally, choosing the Rancher profession at level five will increase the price of animal products by 20%, affecting cheeses and goat cheeses. On the other hand, choosing Artisan at level ten will increase the price of all artisan goods by 10%, including items aged with casks.

Sell for a profit
In Stardew Valley, gold cheese is a valuable commodity. To make gold cheese, you will need a cheese press, which can be obtained by either reaching Farming 6, which unlocks the crafting recipe, or by completing the Animal Bundle in the Pantry of the Community Centre. Once you have a cheese press, you can place milk into it to make standard cheese or large milk to make gold cheese. Gold cheese can be sold for a profit, with large goat milk producing gold goat cheese. Gold cheese can be sold for 360g, while iridium goat cheese can be sold for 960g.
If you want to increase the value of your gold cheese even further, you can age it in a cask to turn it into iridium cheese. To do this, you will need to build a cellar, which requires the final upgrade to your house. Aging cheese in a cask takes time: regular cheese takes four weeks to become iridium, while gold cheese takes two weeks. Iridium cheese sells for double the base price of regular cheese.
While it may be tempting to sell your large milk directly, as it is a valuable item, crafting it into iridium cheese will net you even more profit. However, it is worth noting that if you have the Rancher profession, you may get slightly more profit from selling large iridium milk directly instead of converting it into gold cheese.

Complete the Animal Bundle
To complete the Animal Bundle in Stardew Valley, players must collect and donate specific items to the Junimos via golden scrolls in the Community Centre. This bundle is part of the Pantry Room bundles, which become available after completing at least one bundle in the Community Centre. The Pantry Room bundles focus on farming skills.
The Animal Bundle requires five out of six items, which include:
- Large goat milk
- Large brown egg
- Goat cheese
- Rabbit's foot
- Duck feather
- Truffle (which can be purchased from the travelling cart)
To obtain large goat milk and large brown eggs, players must interact with their animals daily, increasing the number of hearts. More hearts result in a higher chance of obtaining large items. Happier animals produce large products more frequently.
Goats and ducks become available after upgrading the barn and coop, respectively. Upgrading to the Deluxe Barn and Coop will allow players to obtain wool, which can be harvested from sheep or rabbits.
The Animal Bundle is part of a larger collection of bundles required to restore the Community Centre to its brand-new condition. Completing this bundle will repair the dilapidated Greenhouse on the player's farm, enabling them to grow crops, fruit trees, and trees year-round.
It is important to note that bundle rewards must be claimed as soon as a bundle is completed. Players can do so by clicking on the present icon that appears on the bundle screen.
