CHEESE
• When cream is placed in a crock and jiggled a lot, the result is butter. But one day in ancient times some person placed milk or cream in a sack made from the intestines or stomach of an animal. After being agitated, perhaps during a day’s ride, the result was not butter, but a primitive form of cheese. That was the first discovery that the enzymes and acids in the lining of an animal’s stomach will cause milk to coagulate.

• Known as rennet, these chemicals are essential in the manufacture of cheese. Rennet contains many enzymes which coagulate the milk, causing it to separate into solids (curds) and liquid (whey). This helps young mammals digest and assimilate their mother’s milk. • Cheese is little more than artificially coagulated milk, with different types of bacteria and/or molds added. There are 18 different categories of cheese and well over 1,000 different varieties. • The average American eats about 26 lbs. of cheese each year.

CHEESE FACTS & ANECDOTES
• A mouse will not eat cheese if other food is available. Mice have been known to eat glue, leather, plastic, paste, soap, bugs, leaves, roots, stems, and seeds— but they just don’t go for cheese. • Canadian cheese makers wanted to have a very unique display at Chicago’s World’s Columbian Exposition in 1983. They created a cheese centerpiece that weighed 22,000 pounds. The train that was hauling it to Chicago broke down under the strain several times on the way. When it was maneuvered into place at the Expo, it promptly crashed through the floor of the building. • President Andrew Jackson had just a few days left in office when a dairy presented him with 1,400 lbs of cheese. What to do with it? Jackson decided to hold a party in the White House and invite the public at large to attend. On February 22, 1837, he threw open the doors of the White House and the public surged in. By nightfall, the only thing left of the cheese were stains left where bits of it had been ground into the rugs, furniture, and walls. When Martin van Buren moved into the White House ten days later, the place still smelled like cheese. • When Thomas Jefferson was in office, cheesemakers of Berkshire, MA, decided to present the president with a cheese of colossal proportions. They had 900 dairy cows among them, and they turned a single day’s production of milk into a 1,200 lb. cheese which was moved by sled, boat, and wagon to the White House. By the time it reached the president, some 60 lbs. had to be removed because of deterioration, but the president was so impressed he made a $200 donation to the church of Berkshire. • As a practical joke, the Duchess of Marlborough once mixed slices of soap in with the slices of cheese and watched her guests actually eat the soap rather than appear to have bad manners. • In the mid-1800s, naval vessels of Brazil and Uruguay were engaged in battle when the Uruguayan ship ran out of shot for their cannons. The captain ordered his men to load the cannons with Dutch cheeses which were too old and hard to eat. The first two cheese cannonballs missed their mark, but the third one crashed into the mainmast of Brazil’s ship. Two sailors nearby were killed by cheese shrapnel. After several more cheeses ripped their sails, the Brazilian ship fled.
