Cheese is a block of dairy food that can be eaten plain or added to a long list of dishes. It weighs 0.2 and lowers hunger by 15, so it is a filling snack for its size. It is a key ingredient in pizza and a common addition to soups, pasta and sandwiches.

Cheese keeps for about two weeks before it starts to turn. It is also a strong bait for mice and rats. Pizza kitchens, grocery fridges and restaurant fridges are the likeliest places to find it. The Chef is the best occupation for ingredients. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.

Eating

A block of Cheese lowers hunger by 15. It holds 113 calories, with about 9 grams of fat, 6 grams of protein and under 1 gram of carbohydrates. That is a fair amount of fat and protein for a light item.

Once it goes stale, eating it starts to make the character unhappy. It is safe to eat straight from the fridge.

Against fresh vegetables it is much more filling. Cauliflower lowers hunger by 9 and Carrots by 8. Cheese also lasts more than twice as long as either one.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Rat	60%

Storage

Cheese stays fresh for 14 days and is fully rotten by day 20. A fridge slows both counts down. Once it is stale, its effects turn negative, so older cheese is best cooked into a dish quickly.

Locations

Cheese is a common find in food businesses. A pizza kitchen counter is almost certain to hold it, and the pizza kitchen fridge often does too. Gigamart and grocery store fridges carry it about one time in five. Italian kitchens, general stores, restaurant kitchens and gas station fridges are also worth a look. House fridges and survivor safehouse fridges hold it now and then.
