Cheese History
Let's learn about the history of cheese.
I love history and I love everything about cheese - eating, making, melting, and discovering new things about it. Recently, I had the grate idea of combining those two passions and so this channel, Cheese History, was born!
This channel is where I will delve into the many different and fascinating stories that make up the history of the vast array of cheeses we have available to us around the world today. Cheese, in some form or another, has been around since humans domesticated sheep, goats, and cattle. It has changed and developed as civilizations have risen and fallen, as cultures have evolved and matured, as new technologies have been invented, and forms of transport have enabled it to spread around the globe. There is so much to explore. I hope you will join me for the ride.
