When you're still on it, finish your old Zskera Vault Recipe Rat negotiations for Torn Recipe Scraps or delete the Rat item. This seems to be the only old Recipe Rat interaction that may block progressing on the new one. I tried with characters who didn't acquire the Ratcipe: Deviously Deviled Eggs or never met the Zskera Vault Recipe Rat and nothing was hidden.
If you haven't yet, learn Dragon Isles Cooking (later, skill 50 will be mandatory to learn the recipe for the soulbound Charitable Cheddar)
Purchase 20x Fine Aged Cheddar (or more, you'll need more for cooking later)
Head to Zaralek Cavern's Obsidian Rest on the Dragon Isles and interact with Squeaking Swiss in a supply crate at /way #2133 52.43 26.82 Squeaking Swiss
(make sure Step 1 & 2 are done, otherwise the cheese won't be visible)
To help people who went there unprepared, on your very first interaction with Squeaking Swiss you will receive 1x Fine Aged Cheddar (flags hidden quest complete) on top of the Recipe Rat that hops into your bags.
As long as you have the Recipe Rat in your bags, it will consume 1x Fine Aged Cheddar every ~3min and scurry away when there's no cheddar left.(unless you've acquired all recipe scraps, Squeaking Swiss will be visible again when you lost the Rat)
Every 5min you can now Grovel before the Recipe Rat (by using the Recipe Rat) to get a random number of Ripped Recipe Scrap.
When you did acquire 30x Ripped Recipe Scrap this way, the rat will eventually escape forever, but you can now Combine Recipe Scraps to get the Ratcipe: Charitable Cheddar.
Learn the recipe, and get all the ingredients needed (which is quite a "ride") to cook 50x Charitable Cheddar.(depending on your cooking skills this will take up to: 50x Fine Aged Cheddar , 20x Spicy Sharp Cheddar , 10x Zocalo Cheddar , 10x Gold Bar)
Travel the world to find Rats (literally critters with "Rat" as their names), target them, and use the Charitable Cheddar to complete your The Gift of Cheese achievement and eventually be rewarded with Roland.
Patch 10.1.5 addition: When you summon Roland on a character with Dragon Isles Cooking skill 50 (and at least one of the recipes unlearned), our befriended Recipe Rat will now train them the recipes for Deviously Deviled Eggs and Charitable Cheddar without needing to locate him again in Zskera Vaults or Zaralek Cavern.

Kudos to Kamboozle for sharing the Squeaking Swiss find on the Secret Finding Discord.

I'm finding that the most concentrated place to find Rat critters is Falconhurst, Drustvar

I used a simple

/tar rat
/use charitable cheddar

macro to do the deed.

If you have the Will of Remornia pet, it will kill the rat you just tamed in about 5 seconds. That way you can keep going without having to clear the 5 that you accumulate.

Besides Roland Rat (a British television puppet character), Roland is a reference to the rat Remy from the Ratatouille movie who is interested in cooking.
You can often find Remy with a chef hat in the pictures.

Tip: If you haven't already - go to Settings > Interface > Names and check Critters and Companios. It'll make rats much easier to see.

Roland

Achievement: The Gift of Cheese
Category: Cooking

If Roland has taught you anything, it's that friendship comes at a price. That price is lots and lots of cheese.

The location of this NPC is unknown.

Roland
