Cheese apparently been made since 7000 years ago in northern Europe. This refers to the results of a study published in the journal Nature on Thursday (13/12/2012).
Researchers analyzed the fatty acid left on ancient pottery from excavations in Poland. The investigators later learned that pottery was used to make cheese. "The analysis does not tell whether the cheese is made from sheep, goat or cow," said Melanie Salque, chemists from the University of Bristol research involved.
"However, at the site, 90 percent of the bones found were cow bones. So, most likely cheese made from cow's milk," he added.
Researchers speculate that, in the past people making cheese by mixing milk with acid compounds. The milk has thickened separated from the whey using a strainer.
Why are people making cheese in the past? The first goal is to make dairy products more durable. Pure milk easily damaged. Another reason is to make a milk protein consumed high lactose intolerance.
"Making cheese lets them reduce the lactose content in milk," he was quoted as saying Salque New York Times, Thursday (13/12/2012).
Pottery were found to belong to the farmers and ranchers in Europe. Pottery has been discovered 10 years ago but have never known what its function.
