How to Obtain
Cheese is purchased from taverns in towns across Pywel. Taverns can be found in settlements like Hernand and other major population centers. Grocers stock staples such as Salt and Sugar. Taverns are a documented Cheese source, but the matching seller record also names Saddlecap Ranch Owner and another farm-owner entry, so tavern-only availability should not be assumed.
Taverns in major towns stock Cheese. Look for tavern signs when entering a settlement.
Vendor inventory restocks every few in-game days.
