Cheeses From Ewes’ and Goats’ Milk

  • Chapter
Cheese: Chemistry, Physics and Microbiology

Abstract

The production of cheese from ewes’ and goats’ milk has a very long history. In Homer’s Odyssey, there is a very vivid description of the manufacture of cheese by the beastly Cyclops, Polyphemos, perhaps the oldest recorded cheesemaker in the world. The Cyclops, who enjoyed mythical strength from the milk and cheese of ewes and goats, is a bucolic symbol, which exists even now in some Mediterranean countries. Ipocrates (460–356 BC) also mentioned the production of cheese from goats’ milk.
