History of Cheese
Cheese predates recorded history and was most likely discovered by accident during the transport of fresh milk in the organs of ruminants such as sheep, goats, cows, and buffalo 1. It is thought that cheese was first discovered around 8000 BC around the time when sheep were first domesticated. Rennet, the enzyme used to make cheese, is naturally present in the stomachs of ruminants. The leak-proof stomachs and other bladder-like organs of animals were often put to use to store and transport milk and other liquids. Without refrigeration, warm summer heat in combination with residual rennet in the stomach lining would have naturally curdled the milk to produce the earliest forms of cheese. These milk curds were strained, and salt was added for extra preservation, giving birth to what we now know as “cheese”.
Early Cheesemaking
Early cheesemaking is prevalent in the Middle East, Europe, and Central Asia 1. The earliest forms of cheese were made daily and eaten fresh due to warm climates. Early Roman texts describe how ancient Romans enjoyed cheese often. They enjoyed a wide variety of cheeses, and cheese-making was already considered an art form. They provided hard cheese for the Roman legions.
