Big Cheese is the first tiny DLC. One skin, one building, one mission, one map, yay. Oh, and unlike Tropico 4, one music track too. Here we go again. This time it's all about cheese.
And this is we got for pre-ordering Tropico 5. Should have knew better what kind of the first DLC it would be.
Mission is pretty nice. Aside from promoting Tropican cheeseyness it also locks you up in Colonian era, you can't advance. It's actually an interesting challenge. While you don't have to think of supporting revolutioners as much, they can also sometimes get angry. At least I got some "cmon cmon!" moments when I was waiting for next ship to come so I could complete The Crown's mission as my mandate time was running out, suspecting that I should have build another dock. So I am amused.
And then there is Cheese industrial building. It makes cheese out of milk that is produced by goats and cattle ranches, not goats and llamas as store info hints. It may not look much, but main point of it is that it's available during Colonial era, where the only other industry building is Lumber Mill, the planks that it produced being a mid-step between logs and furniture anyway. So it got it's use, yep. Even though I am not sure you are supposed to make lots of money at Colonial era.

Ridiculously expensive for adding one building and one cheap mission. The Creamery itself at leasts provides some amusement in providing extra food as well as entertainment for the workers.
The mission it adds is a colossal scam. You start in the Colonial era and have to export $120,000 worth of cheese. In typical Tropico fashion, there's a horde of problems that come along to stymie this objective, as well as some to help it along by increasing the value of cheese.
What makes the mission a total scam though is that there is no declaring independence, so if your mandate runs out, you lose. The opportunities to extend your mandate are exactly the same as the base game, ie, no extra opportunities, so even if you complete all the secondary objectives to increase the value of cheese, choose the right people to test new cheeses on to extend your mandate or give you more money, you'll still fail the mission.
I had 3 creameries operating with 6 milk-producing ranches, all the secondary objectives complete, no labor shortages, and ended up with just over $70,000 out of $120,000 exported and ended up failing the mission by running out of time. Total scam.

Though the price is a bit large, I would wait for a sale and buy this DLC.
Most of the DLC contains generally useless buildings that just do what can already be done a 'little' better or give you a minor little boost in some stat you forgot the game had, but the Creamery is extremely useful. It turns the Milk you get from Cattle Ranches into a very profitable source of income and makes the game much more interesting by adding a new trade good and source of income.
Though I would still think this DLC should have just been released as part of the base game, I see it kind of like the Quick Dry Cement DLC from Tropico 4: Containing a very helpful building that can assist you a great deal in expanding your nation's income and helping you grow.
Just wait for a sale and buy it for $2. It's worth it for $2, not $4.

A nifty DLC for early era ganeplay. Included is one building *Creamery*, a colonial era only mission, a hat, a island and a music track.
Mostly got it for the building as the Creamery is a good money maker early on as ranches don't take much space and the Creamery isn't that costly to build.

This is not a really bad dlc. It is ok, the voices are nice, they have a new soundtrack and having industry in colonial is nice, but I wish to punch the creator of the mission in the face badly. The mission is all about cheese - how to increase price, how to call it - it all revolves around cheese. And then your factories are getting disabled for roughly 3 years. Disabled Creamery. On the map where you are supposed to learn all about that building.
I wonder who had that idea.

Absolute garbage. An utter waste of money.
I've started over twice now, and every single time when I reach around 33-35K profit from cheese, both creameries say "THIS BUILDING DOESN'T WORK DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES".
I have absolutely no edicts, I have numerous goat farms, and plenty of teamsters. It doesn't matter what I do, the game is completely bugged against continuing at this point.
Don't waste your money because you cannot win.

Got this as a pre-order bonus, so no money wasted there. You might wanna grab it -66% or something as it doesn't really add much.

I pre-ordered the game so I got this as soon as it came out. This DLC adds one building that makes cheese, thats it! So it help you off a little in the Colonial era. It gives you some industry but later it is completey useless since there a far more efficient industry buildings. Just wait for a sale if you want this DLC, but overall pertty useless DLC.

TL;DR at end
honestly, i didn't notice a change (pre-ordered so got this as soon as it came out and i don't play all that much) with this DLC. calling this a DLC is a strech as one building doesn't add much (and this building sucks)
don't get me wrong though. i have enjoyed tropico since i started playing (tropico 3 was my first of the series) and i also enjoy DLCs for games such as Crusader Kings II and Payday 2 - bought nearly all of them as the content was satisfactory. HOWEVER, adding one lack luster building for $3.99 is not worth the money. If say 5-10 buildings were added in then it would be worth the my money. Even probably $10 for 5-10 buildings.
TL;DR Tropico is a game about managing money and making your people happy. Devs want us to lose money and be pissed.
