Dwarven milk

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki

If cow cheese is made from cow's milk, what is dwarven cheese made of? -- Anon

Dwarven milk is obtained from having a milker milk a purring maggot. Dwarven milk can be made into dwarven cheese by a cheese maker at a Farmer's workshop.

Purring maggots are hard to get, but you can ask dwarven merchants to bring you a lot of dwarven milk, then make it all into cheese yourself. Cooking the cheese creates incredibly valuable prepared meals, since dwarven cheese is the most valuable ingredient known (hydra/dragon meat has same value, but it can't be bought).
