What does cheese mean in history?
Cheese is a kind of dairy products, which is made from milk of cattle, sheep, goats and other animals, and has a long history. According to the research of historians, cheese can be traced back to around 5000 BC, when people began to try to make cheese with milk or goat's milk. But the cheese at that time was primitive and rough, which was completely different from the cheese we eat now.

In Europe, cheese is a frequent visitor to the dining tables of various countries, and even some countries regard making cheese as the embodiment of cultural heritage. In the Middle Ages, cheese was once one of the European currencies, and a piece of cheese was equivalent to several silver coins, so cheese was also called "platinum". The exquisite technology and different taste and flavor of cheese aroused people's strong interest in cheese and promoted the development of cheese making technology.

Nowadays, cheese has become one of the most popular foods in the world, with a wide variety and different flavors. In addition to the traditional cheese made from animal milk, there are various novel cheese varieties, such as dried tofu cheese and camellia cheese, and even cheese made from plants. At the same time, many new technologies and methods appeared in the production process, such as buffalo concentrated cheese and low-salt cheese, which further expanded the application scope and consumer groups of cheese. It can be said that cheese has become an indispensable part of our life.
