World’s Oldest Cheese Stood Alone for 3,600 Years

The cheese was dug up with mummified human remains in the Xinjiang region of China and offers insights into the origins of the dairy product known as kefir.

I was having a discussion with someone about goat cheese, and how a grocery store not far from where I live has a variety of goat (and sheep) dairy products! This is just a sampling...

Clockwise from left: Beemster Goat Gouda, Olympiana Halloumi (Grass-fed Mediterranean grilling cheese made from sheep's milk), Vermont Creamery Crottin Goat Cheese, The Drunken Goat cheese (bathed in red wine), Meyenberg Goat Milk, Montchevre Triple Creme Goat Brie, LaClare Family Creamery Mozzarella Goat Milk Cheese, Honey Bee Goat Cheese, Seal Cove Farm Maine Chevre (goat cheese), Nettle Meadow Chevre (goat's milk cheese) with Mixed Herbs).

Ooo forgot to post this, but we had a #cheesestodon -themed special treat over the weekend. Inspired by @natania . It’s been too long since we did this - thanks for the inspiration! It was delicious.

Today did not have enough cheese in it.

Yes I’m making cheesestodon a thing.
