C2o—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 13,1981 Ladies Have You Heard? By Doris Thomas Lancaster Extension Home Economist CHEESE TO PLEASE Cheese of one kind or another is a ' universal food. It’s made wherever animals are milked and produce more milk than people can use in fluid form. Although no one knows exactly how cheesemaking began, one ancient legend credits it to the happy accident of an Arabian merchant. The merchant set out on a long day’s journey across the desert and put his supply of milk into a pouch made of sheep’s stomach. The rennet in the lining of the pouch combined with the heat of the sun caused the milk to separate into curd and whey. At nightfall the merchant found that the whey satisfied his thirst while the cheese (curd) satisfied his hunger and had a delightful flavor. So, according to legend, began the malting of one of our most useful foods. To store cheese safely, you must keep it in the refrigerator. However, just as soon as it is chilled, cheese develops “refrigerator inertia,; losing some of its flavor and remarkable texture.
