Cheese and smile * brooch *

No one really knows who made the first cheese.

According to an ancient legend, it was made accidentally by an Arabian merchant, more than 6.000 years BCE, who put his supply of milk into a pouch made from a sheep's stomach, as he set out on a day's journey across the desert. The rennet in the lining of the pouch, combined with the heat of the sun, caused the milk to separate into curd and whey. That night he found that the whey satisfied his thirst, and the cheese (curd) had a delightful flavor which satisfied his hunger.

There are more than 2000 varieties of cheese available worldwide. Which one is your favorite?
