4. History of Cheese:
A delightful Accident-
 No one knows the exact origin of cheese
 May have been discovered accidentally by storing milk in containers made
from the stomachs of animals

would cause the milk to coagulate, separating into curds and whey

Facts-
Many of the popular cheeses eaten in America today such as Cheddar, Swiss and Gouda
are new, appearing within the last 500 years
Adding fruit juices to milk result in curdling due to the acid content in the juice

salting curdled milk for preservation
