Cheese house in FarmCapi: milk becomes Minas cheese

The Cheese house in FarmCapi becomes available at level 7, costs 900 coins and turns milk into two products: Minas cheese (2 milk, 40 minutes) and butter (1 milk, 20 minutes, from level 8). The cheese is worth 150 coins and the butter 75. In the game's words, Minas cheese is "soft and white, patiently cured in the cheese house." In the current version (November 2026), the Cheese house arrives with its first cheese already in progress and 2 bonus milk in your Barn.

How to build and use the Cheese house, step by step

1. Reach level 6 and buy at least one cow: no milk, no cheese.
2. At level 7, tap the Cheese house building site, then Build (900 coins).
3. Your first Minas cheese starts right away: 45 seconds, no milk used. The game also puts 2 milk in your Barn, the ingredients for one more batch.
4. Use those 2 milk for the next cheese: pick the recipe and tap Make.
5. When the bubble appears over the building, tap it to collect.

Queue, slots and gems

The Cheese house works like every FarmCapi building: it makes one item at a time, and each slot holds an order waiting its turn. It starts with 2 slots and goes up to 5. A finished item keeps its slot until collected, and the queue keeps running with the game closed.

Speed up costs 1 gem per 10 minutes left on the item in progress (rounded up, minimum 1): a full Minas cheese costs 4 gems, a butter 2.

Which Cheese house recipe pays best

Per batch, Minas cheese: it gains 50 coins over the sale value of its 2 milk, versus 25 for butter. Per building-hour, they tie at 75 coins. The tiebreaker is what comes next:

• Minas cheese is an ingredient in cheese bread (pão de queijo) at the Wood stove, a 320-coin product;
• butter is only for selling and for Granny Coti's orders (from level 9);
• butter uses just 1 milk, so it's a good way to use a leftover bucket.

The time caveat: recipe value doesn't count cow-hours. With 3 cows, the farm makes 3 milk an hour, enough for 1.5 cheeses an hour. The Cheese house is almost never the bottleneck; milk is.

Checklist before you log off: cows fed, 2 milk in the Cheese house queue per open slot, and 1 milk saved for cornmeal cake.

Where its products are used

• Cheese bread (1 Minas cheese + 2 eggs + 1 milk) at the Wood stove.
• Granny Coti's orders: Minas cheese from level 8, butter with eggs from level 9.
• Quest: "Cheese corner" (build the Cheese house) pays 120 coins and 40 XP.
