Theoretically, thousands of years ago prehistoric man basically confined to living in caves, hunting and gathering fruit he found here and there, but strangely whenever archeology steps forward our vision of the past changes. Now it has been found that around 7,000 BC men of the time also devoted their time, among other things, to make cheese from cow's milk. That's 9,000 years.

This is what archaeologists say working in Poland after discovering pottery belonging to that era. The pottery was sent to the University of Bristol to be analyzed and what they found there were waste fats derived from milk, ie sometime pottery belonged to the container where there was cheese. Discovery is not enough, because away the idea that 9000 years ago the man was little more than a modern man asalvajada version. At the end of the cheese manufactured in this way requires a degree of technology, language and social skills.

This seemingly simple invention maybe had to do with the progress of humanity, on the one hand these men could be stored and transported without being soured milk and cheese also contains less lactose than whole milk with which everyone could benefit from its nutritional without suffering the side effects of lactose intolerance.
