There is a very early period cheese recipe in Lucius Junius Modratus
Columella, On Agriculture, book VII, section VIII. My impression is that
this was written sometime after the Caesars but sometime before the fall
of Rome--I may be wrong on this, and it may be earlier.  According to
the Pittcat (University of Pittsburgh Library), ol' Lucius had an
Italian translator in the 15th C, as well as a German one.
