When you put cheese on your macaroni or cheese on toast. Guda, cheddar, mozzarella, doesn’t matter there all god to eat. But have you ever wondered where it all started? Where did it come from?
Around 10,000 years ago, a farmer from a village in the middle east was just milking his cow and putting the milk into canisters but he forgot about them for a long time. The heat from the hot desert heated up the milk and a sandstorm blew them around and turned them into cheese curds. When he finally found out, he went back to check on the milk but realized it had turned into a solid. Curious, he tried it and found it tasty. He then began to sell it and it spread everywhere. People treasured it and took it to different countries where it began to sell there.
So then cheese was booming all around europe and asia and eventually it spread to lots of different countries and during the medieval times people ate it as daily food and made lots of different foods with it including pies, soups and types of pasta including mac and cheese. When it was first created it was very valuable.
