A cheese wheel is created by churning a pat of butter, pot of cream, or bucket of milk at a dairy churn with level 48 Cooking. This awards 64 Cooking experience. With level 49 Farming and 60 Construction, this can be increased to 128 experience per wheel by having an elder cow present in a large pen at the player-owned farm with a farm totem built in its hotspot. At level 71 Farming, players can further increase this experience to 256 per cheese wheel by having farm totems and an elder cow present in both large pens. Without PoF bonuses, but with the Sous chef's outfit, 35,000-40,000 exp/hr can be gained by making cheese wheels at the Zanaris dairy churn.

Cheese wheels are untradeable; only the cheese wedges sliced from the wheels can be traded or sold. Each wedge of cheese that's sliced from a wheel awards 4 Cooking experience. A random number of cheese wedges will be sliced off of each cheese wheel, beginning at around 5 on average with level 48 cooking, which increases alongside a player's Cooking level. The higher the player's Cooking level, the greater the number of cheese wedges they will get. A player with level 99 Cooking may slice up to 30 wedges of cheese off of a single cheese wheel, which would yield a further 120 Cooking experience for a total of 184 (or 376 if the tier 2 Manor Farm dairy cow perk is active).

Each piece of cheese it creates heals 200 life points, so in theory each cheese wheel could heal between 1000-6000 life points depending on a player's Cooking level. An inventory of 27 cheese wheels, assuming a knife is present on a player's tool belt, with one open slot to hold the sliced cheese could yield up to 810 pieces of cheese and heal 162,000 life points.

With Blessing of Het relic power active and expensive spices inside the inventory, cheese can heal 275 life points each. Even at level 99 Cooking, obtaining 30 wedges of cheese from one wheel is very rare; roughly 730 wedges per 27-wheel inventory at level 99 Cooking is more realistic.

Cheese wheels are excellent for Temple Trekking, as it can be sliced into many pieces of cheese for feeding starving adventurers in the Campsite event, and prior to being sliced into cheese, cheese wheels are immune to ghasts' rotting power.

In free-to-play, its healing surpasses that of a bottle of wine, making it the highest per slot other than the stackable biscuits when it yields at least 8 wedges of cheese, or 7 with expensive spices.

Cutting Strategy

When cutting cheese wheels, it is recommended to have the following inventory setup:

• 2-4 cheese wheels (amount varies depending on your Cooking level, as you will obtain more cheese at a higher level).
• Right-click the wheel and select Slice-all.
• Always stand near a bank to quickly deposit your cheese and withdraw more cheese wheels.

Success chance

The following success rates are provided by Jagex, unless otherwise specified.

Each cheese wheel has 3 'lives'. Each cheese wedge cut away has a chance to deplete a life.
