Let's learn about the history of cheese.
I love history and I love everything about cheese - eating, making, melting, and discovering new things about it. Recently, I had the grate idea of combining those two passions and so this channel, Cheese History, was born!
This channel is where I will delve into the many different and fascinating stories that make up the history of the vast array of cheeses we have available to us around the world today. Cheese, in some form or another, has been around since humans domesticated sheep, goats, and cattle. It has changed and developed as civilizations have risen and fallen, as cultures have evolved and matured, as new technologies have been invented, and forms of transport have enabled it to spread around the globe. There is so much to explore. I hope you will join me for the ride.

Hey there Cheesetorians. Welcome to everyone who has recently found Cheese History due to @TastingHistory mentioning the channel in his video on Welsh Rabbit (thanks Max!). It is an excellent video and worth watching if you haven't already. Thanks for all the comments I have received over the last few days. I'm reading and responding to as many as I can.
I'm always interested in the cheeses that you, my audience, would like to learn more about. So do let me know in a comment if there are particular cheeses that you would like to learn about, and I may make a video about them in the future.

Hey there Cheesetorians!
I have a question for the Americans out there. Do you consider all types of individually wrapped processed cheese slices to be American cheese? Or are they seen as different types? If I was to refer to individually wrapped processed cheese slices as "American cheese" would that cover all types, or just the ones that technically meet the definition of American cheese according to the FDA regulations?
And even if you're not American, what do you call individually wrapped processed cheese slices? I tend to call them plastic cheese, but I'm not sure if everyone else would know what I was talking about.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to describe individually wrapped processed cheese slices without having to say "individually wrapped processed cheese slices" all the time.
Thank you.

Hey there Cheesetorians!
I came across this cheese-themed board game recently called Fromage by @r2igames. It's set in early 20th century France and has a lot of cheese and cheese-making details. The goal is for each player to use their cheese workers to make cheese in the different quadrants of the board, gain different resources, and earn points along the way. It also has a single player mode, which I have been playing a lot to get the hang of it.
I was wondering if you would be interested in a review of the cheese history elements of the game? Things like, did they get the details about the different cheeses in the game right? How well does it reflect early 20th century France? It's not the typical topic I cover on the channel so I thought I would see if any of you would be interested. Leave me a comment if it does.
(Also, this is not sponsored in any way.)

October is NZ Cheese month. So last weekend, I went on a trip to the NZ Cheesefest in Blenheim and then south to visit Whitestone Cheese in Oamaru and do a factory tour and cheese tasting 🧀 I also happened to drive past the Evansdale cheese in Dunedin so had to stop in for some cheese. Such a great trip. I can't wait to visit again ❤️
I have a lot of cheese to eat now 🧀🤣
