[Sca-cooks] Prehistoric Farmers Made Cheese

[Johnna Holloway]

No one has mentioned it so I will post some links to the news reports.

"About 7,000 years ago, dairy farmers in modern-day Poland used clay strainers to turn cow's milk into cheese.
The new discovery offers the earliest evidence yet of cheese-making, which began before people developed the ability to digest the lactose sugars in unprocessed milk."
