Chewy Cheeses
Chewy Cheeses, an add-on for Brewin' And Chewin', adds cheese wheels that other food mods can use, with cutting, fermenting and aging steps.
What it does
Brewin' And Chewin' is required, so it must be installed next to Chewy Cheeses on either loader. Cheese wheels and unripe cheese wheels are built on top of that mod's fermenting and aging system, and the mod also provides a cheese fluid and a coaster model. A cutting recipe turns full cheese blocks into two cheese wheels. Fermenting can use contaminated food, a step tied to the Rats mod and its rats, which the author describes as a way of representing how rats spread disease. Disabling cheese fermenting in the config turns that step off.
Compatibility is a large part of the mod. It adds support for Glow Cheese, Wardenzola, Vieux Bulogne Cheese and blue or Nether cheeses from other mods, and new cheeses use ingredients those mods add, including End, Glowshroom, Truffle and Pitcher Pod items. JEI and EMI show the cheese ageing recipes. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source; its source code and issue tracker are public. Chewy Cheeses is installed on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.
Key features
Cutting recipe
Full cheese blocks can be cut into two cheese wheels, which makes the cheese easier to portion.
Light-emitting cheese wheels
A cheese wheel gives off light level 15 and an unripe cheese wheel gives off light level 10.
Cross-mod cheeses
Cheeses from other mods, such as Glow Cheese and Wardenzola, can be fermented and aged through Brewin' And Chewin' recipes.
Ingredient-based recipes
New cheeses use ingredients from End, Glowshroom, Truffle and Pitcher Pod sources added by other mods.

What the author says
Chewy Cheeses makes the cheeses from other mods use the Brewin and Chewin cheese fermenting and aging process. Each cheese gets a cheese wheel, an unripe cheese wheel, a coaster model and a cheese fluid so that the cheese is fully intergrated.
