One of the most iconic and beloved items in-game, the Cheese has graced Dota 2 matches for as long as we can remember.
From its humble beginnings as an in-game consumable, to a timeless icon at TI, it is truly a work of wonder.
But what exactly makes this Dota 2 consumable so special?
How to get Cheese in Dota 2?

Dota 2’s Cheese is an in-game item that can only be obtained by slaying the ferocious beast, Roshan.
Once claimed, it can either be consumed instantly to restore a large chunk of health and mana, or sold for a small sum of Gold. In the grand scheme of things, players holding this consumable would have a big advantage over the competition.
It has some lore tied to it too!
Before you get any weird ideas, Roshan doesn’t 100% “make” the Cheese.
This consumable is actually made from the milk of a long lost Furbolg vendor.
Furbolg is the old name for Hellbears! Only old-school Dota players will remember that the Hellbear camp used to be called the Furbolg camp.
As such, he probably only helps with the aging of the Cheese, but to be honest, who really knows?

The International’s all-star Cheese
Besides being an in-game item, it also has a history at The International alongside the coveted Aegis.
Since The International 4 in 2014, it has been awarded to the winning team of the all-star match, a community driven event where players are voted into all-star teams by the fans to play some fun matches.
The TI Cheese has many memories and history associated with it
Some iconic moments featuring the all-star Cheese include the time Malaysian TI champion Wong “ChuaN” Hock Chuan boldly claimed he would eat it rather than simply take it home, a statement that went straight into Dota 2’s history books.
Of course we can’t forget Dota 2 legend Danil “Dendi” Ishutin stealing the Cheese from the Chinese panel at TI9.
