Over time when we humans stopped
following the herds and settled down we started to make all kinds of
cheese. There are over 1000 different varieties in the world today. How
these varieties came about is a unique process. Each of the different
areas of the world have their own different bacteria that was unique to
that are. Also it depended on who made the cheese. Was it the wife or was
it a village cheese maker. For example, French cheeses were made by the
wives. The kind of cheeses that they made were cheeses that fit into their
schedule. It required no heating (They did not cool the milk after they
milk the animals) and not a lot of work. Alpine cheeses were made by a
village cheese maker who specialized in just making cheese. Since they
were in the high Alps in the summer it was hard to get a lot of salt up
there. They figured out that by making a very small curd size and heating
it, it allowed the whey to be expelled out and it also made the holes in
their cheese. So each geographic area of the world has it own cheese
because of their own particular environment.
