History
Cheese appears in history in the Old Testament written around the 4th century BC and in Greek myths from around the 5th century BC. A famous anecdote is the Arabic folk tale
It is a story that an Arab merchant put a goat's milk in a water bottle made by drying the stomach of sheep and the contents of the water bottle turned into clear water and white lump.When making cheese, milk was first fermented with enzymes from the calf's stomach, and then fig and papaya enzymes were also used.Eventually, the technology was transmitted from the Middle East to Europe.
Cheese was introduced to Japan during the Edo period, but Japan did not have a culture of using milk so that it took time until it was accepted, and it became available in the Meiji period.
Kinds
Cheese is largely divided according to whether it is heated or not. Processed cheese that has been heated and stopped fermentation is called processed cheese, and non-heated cheese is called natural cheese.Natural cheese has a variety of cheeses with different textures and tastes depending on the ripening method and microorganisms used.
