A rare Roman cheese press dating back to the 3rd century AD was discovered in a ditch near the village of Stilton, Cambridgeshire, England. The cheese press would have been used to make cheese from goat or sheep milk. This discovery suggests the village of Stilton, known for Stilton cheese, has a history of cheese-making for over 1,800 years. The potter who found the press said he has uncovered extensive other evidence of Roman occupation in the area around Stilton.
