A Little Slice of Cheese History
A HAPPY ACCIDENT According to legend, cheese was "discovered" 4,000 years ago when an Arabian merchant journeyed across the desert, carrying a supply of milk in a pouch. Why this man thought he could cart milk across a desert for a day, we'll never know...but hey, we're not complaining. The lining of the pouch, combined with the heat of the sun, caused the milk to separate into curd and whey. That night he drank the whey and chowed on the cheese, and thus, so the story goes, our beloved cheese was born.
