This page collects the cheeses, dairy products and baking basics of Skyrim. Most of them are weak as food on their own, restoring only a point or two of Health, but several are essential ingredients for cooking and for the Hearthfire oven. Butter, Jug of Milk and Sack of Flour were all added by Hearthfire.

Cheese
Skyrim has two cheeses, Eidar and goat, each in three forms. The small wedges heal only 1 Health, while a whole wheel or a sliced wheel heals 15, the best of anything on this page, but they weigh 2 units each. Eidar is the slightly pricier cheese in every form. The Eidar Cheese Wheel is also an ingredient: together with Moon Sugar and Ale it is cooked into Elsweyr Fondue, a strong Magicka dish.
The Mammoth Cheese Bowl stands apart: light, cheap, and the only item here that restores Stamina as well as Health.
Dairy and baking supplies
- Butter goes into Clam Chowder and Steamed Mudcrab Legs at the cooking pot, and into the Sweet Roll, Garlic Bread, Apple Pie and the Jazbay, Snowberry and Juniper Berry crostatas in the oven.
- Jug of Milk is needed for Bread, Potato Bread, the Sweet Roll and Clam Chowder.
- Sack of Flour is the base of almost every oven recipe: all the breads, including Braided Bread, plus the Apple, Lavender and Chicken dumplings, the pie and the crostatas.
- Honey has no cooking or oven recipe of its own; it is simply a light 2-Health snack.
Oven recipes need a Hearthfire home, while cooking-pot recipes work at any pot or spit. Many recipes also call for a Salt Pile.
