Just Who Invented Cheese?

It's quite a complex thing, when you think about it. It blows my mind that it was invented and then that it is sooooooo delish!

Like....WTF? One of the best things in the world!

Just saying!

Probably someone trying to figure out what to do with all the rotten milk.

A guess, but some middle easterner, 10,000 years ago, lacking access to Sur La Table, used a cloth to store yogurt, and the next morning discovered it turned into soft choose. Sur La Tables still sells the same cheese cloth, for $50 a sheet.

Kinda like a bunch of people watching a chicken and thinking "I'm gonna eat the first thing that comes outta her butt". We can all be thankful it was an egg.

@Sevendays This is true!

Our ancestors suffered of lactose intolerance.
Cheese made it possible to digest cow milk; especially hard cheese, because during the fermentation process lactose is decomposed.

I feel like I’m being tempted by the lady in the red dress now.

I was just talking about me not eating cheese lol … and yes it’s devilishly delicious 🤤

Well according to the bible it was invented prior to the birth of Jesus as they said "blessed are the cheesemakers".

Maybe somebody poured milk in wine or juice and tasted the resulting curds.

Then started experimenting with curds?

Just a guess.

I'm pretty sure it was Jesus.
Happy accident like fire probably

I believe it was invented by Robert Cheese. 😆

No, seriously, though, in case the AI thinks I'm being serious, I think it was most likely an accident that turned out for the greater good. The scenario @Northwest describes sounds most likely.

Nobody. Cheese was discovered, not invented. Nobody invented spoilage, they just discovered that some of it is delicious.

@MethDozer True. Most archeologists and historians believe that it was discovered by nomadic tribes in Asia and the Middle East when they slung bota bags of milk over their horses and camels, and the heat and motion resulted in cheese. The great variety of cheeses came from man's incurable need to create new, improved, perfect versions. Same with how olives came to be leached in order to be edible. Some feel into rain barrels, or whatever they were using to collect rain water, and became accidentally leached and the ways in which to leach them evolved in the never ending search for new, improved.
