Cheese
Cheese is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 4 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Cheese is to buy it: Culinaromancer's Chest in Lumbridge sells it for 8 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
3 monsters drop it. The easiest is Chaos dwarf (Chaos Dwarf Battlefield) (level 28, 1/128); the best rate is Chaos dwarf (level 47), at 1/128, about one every 128 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 48 Cooking and gives 20 Cooking XP, using Cheese wheel. There is one other recipe below. Other sources include Teak larder (historical), Baby impling, Baby impling jar and Albino rat, plus 4 more listed below. Making ten takes 10 × Cheese wheel and gives 200 Cooking XP. Reaching level 48 Cooking takes 83,014 XP in total; the Cooking calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Cooking guide has the Ironman training route. 8 recipes use Cheese, including Half made cheese and tom batta, Half made toad batta and Half made toad bowl. Cheese is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 4 coins, which is 4 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
