After many hours of rhythmic jogging in the warm sun, the rider grew thirsty and when he looked inside his saddlebag, the milk had turned into curds. The substance was not bad, he must have decided, for from that moment on, cheese became an important way to preserve surplus milk. The creation of cheese is a fine art. Unfortunately, between health concerns and technology, in many places the centuries-old art of cheese making is being lost.

Cheese is a very nutritious food.
It is high in protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin A. Think of it as eating highly condensed milk. Full fat cheese also contains conjugated linoleic acid, a fatty acid which may slow the progress of some cancer and heart disease. And it s good for your teeth. If you can't brush your teeth after a meal, eat a small piece of cheese. It helps wash away the harmful acids which promote tooth decay.
