Large Milk is the better jug a well-loved cow gives in place of ordinary Milk. It sells for about half as much again as a normal jug. In the Cheese Press it always makes gold-quality Cheese, which skips the first two steps of Cask aging. Large Milk is also one of the six options for the Animal Bundle in the Pantry. In cooking, it works anywhere a recipe asks for Milk.

The in-game description reads: A large jug of cow's milk.

Production

A cow only gives Large Milk once a real bond has formed. Each morning, the cow's friendship and mood together set the odds of Large Milk at milking time. A good mood counts for a lot here, and grazing on fresh grass lifts it to the top in a single day.

Daily petting builds friendship, and milking by hand adds a little more on every visit. A full trough keeps both friendship and mood from slipping. Nights left outside, missed meals and skipped petting all pull them back down. With five hearts and a top mood, Large Milk becomes a near-daily event. Shepherd is worth taking for a dairy, as the bond with every Barn animal grows faster and their milk turns out better.

Large Milk comes in the usual four qualities, and the same good care raises the chance of better stars.

Prices

A normal jug of Large Milk is worth about half again a normal Milk. An iridium jug doubles that. For a Rancher, the raw jug fetches a fifth more.

In a Cheese Press, Large Milk always becomes gold-star Cheese, whatever stars the milk had. That gold Cheese is worth nearly twice a normal Large Milk. An iridium jug, however, sells for a little more raw than the gold Cheese it makes, unless the Artisan profession is taken. With Artisan, Cheese gains two fifths in value and pressing wins every time.

A Cask carries the gold Cheese one step further to iridium quality. Iridium Cheese sells for double the normal Cheese price, a third more than the gold wheel that went in.

Sell prices by quality, with the bonus from each profession.

Quality	Price	Rancher (+20%)
Normal	190g	228g
Silver	237g	284g
Gold	285g	342g
Iridium	380g	456g

Uses

The Animal Bundle in the Pantry asks for any five of six animal products, and Large Milk is one of them. The other options are a Large Egg, a Large Brown Egg, Large Goat Milk, Wool and a Duck Egg. Completing the bundle awards a Cheese Press.

Any cooking recipe that calls for Milk accepts Large Milk as well. That includes the Omelet, Ice Cream, Chowder, Pumpkin Soup and the Complete Breakfast. The dish turns out the same with either jug, so the cheaper normal Milk is the sensible pick for the kitchen.

Gifts

Villagers react to Large Milk just as they do to an ordinary jug. Evelyn, Jodi, Linus, Pam, Pierre and Robin are happy to get it. Elliott, Lewis, Haley and the Wizard are less keen. Kent hates it.

Notes

Gold Cheese straight from the press saves Cask time. Normal Cheese has to climb through silver and gold before reaching iridium, while Large Milk Cheese starts at gold.
