Who discovered cheese and how?
We cannot know for certain when the first cheese was actually made. According to experts, it may have happened in the Middle East, sometime around 7000 BC. It was during this Neolithic period that humans began to breed livestock. They also discovered domesticated animals could be milked. It’s likely the earliest type of cheese was a form of sour milk, a simple result of the observation that milk left in a container turned solid, especially in hot temperatures. However, a widely told legend has it that cheese was the accidental discovery of a traveling Arab nomad. To sustain himself on a long journey across the desert, the nomad filled a sheep’s stomach saddlebag with milk and tied it to his horse. After several hours of galloping in the hot sun, he stopped to quench his thirst, only to find the milk had turned into solid white lumps. Weary, hungry, and curious, the nomad found the curds and whey to be edible – and we’re assuming quite delicious as well. There is lots of cheese info her
