Did you know that the discovery of cheese was accidental?

Legend has it that an Arabian went horseback riding through the desert, with a supply of milk in his calf stomachs. After a few hours of driving, he stopped to quench his thirst. It turned out that the milk turned into a thick liquid in which white lumps floated. The Arab had no choice: he had to eat what he had. Thanks to this, he discovered that the liquid part, later called whey, is suitable for drinking, and the rest is a valuable meal. This discovery was a breakthrough in the culinary history of the world. The reason for the mysterious transformation of caseinogen – soluble milk protein into insoluble casein were: high temperature, continuous mixing process and animal digestive enzyme – rennet. Since then, the milk has been used to produce various types of cheese. The first of them could have been created even 7,000 years BC!
