There is no concrete evidence of how humans invented cheese making. However, the legend tells us that it was likely that someone made the first cheese by chance. Thousands of years ago, people imported milk and stored it in sheep's stomachs. The proteins would separate into curds and whey if left to sit a few days. From there, preserving the solids with salt may have been the most logical next step. Salt was a highly valued preservative in ancient times.
Cheese making is believed to have existed in what is now Poland for the first time. Today there are over 1,400 varieties of cheese.
Basic cheese making
The basic principles behind making cheese are fairly straightforward. Let the milk sour (or scientifically, coagulating the casein protein). arated from the whey (liquid) by then. The curds are then salted and left to age.
Bacteria, enzymes, or fungi can be added at various stages. The desired taste, color, and texture are all controlled, as are the type of milk, temperature, time, and humidity. For more variety and flavor, cheesemakers also add herbs and spices for additional variety and flavor.
Cheese's nutritional value varies depending on the variety. On a serving, cottage and mozzarella cheese are at the lower end of fat and calories per serving, while mascarpone and cream cheese pack it on. Marscapone makes desserts that are both rich and creamy.
