TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE
QUOTE: ?A cheese may disappoint. It may be dull, it may be
naive, it may be over sophisticated. Yet it remains, cheese,
milk?s leap toward immortality.?
HINT: (1904-1999), American intellectual, author, radio and
television personality.

RANDOM TIDBITS
The root of the English word cheese comes from the Latin
caseus, which derives from the word casein, the milk protein
that is the basis of cheese. In Old English, caseus was
ciese or cese, which became chese in Middle English, finally
becoming cheese in Modern English.
***
Cheese is believed to have been discovered in the Middle
East or by nomadic Turkic tribes in Central Asia, where
foodstuffs were commonly stored in animal hides or organs
for transport.
***
Egypt is home to the earliest archeological evidence of
cheesemaking, found in tomb murals that date back to 2000
BC. These cheeses were likely to have been very sour and
salty (lots of salt was needed to preserve the cheese in
the hot, arid climate) and similar to a cottage cheese or
feta in texture.

***********************************************************
Cheeses made in Europe didn?t require as much salt because
of cooler conditions, thus paving the way for beneficial
microbes and molds to form and give aged cheeses their
robust flavors.
***
Ancient Greeks and Romans were the first to turn cheese-
making into a fine art. Larger Roman houses even had a
special kitchen, called a careale, just for making cheese.
After developing new techniques for smoking and adding
other flavors into cheeses, the Romans spread this
knowledge slowly through their empire.
***
After the fall of the Roman Empire, innovative monks were
responsible for inventing some of the classic varieties of
cheese we know today. According to the British Cheese Board,
Britain has approximately 700 distinct local cheeses. The
varying flavors, colors, and textures of cheese come from
many factors, including the type of milk used, the type of
bacteria or acids used to separate the milk, the length of
aging, and the addition of other flavorings or mold.
