Who was the first person to try cheese?

There is no written record of cheesemaking's origin, and the process is likely much older than any existing documentation. Archaeologists have found evidence that suggests cheesemaking was happening in the Neolithic period (around 8000 BCE), but it's impossible to say for certain who the first person to try it was.

It's likely that the discovery of cheese was accidental. It's been speculated that someone might have left milk out in the heat and discovered that the curdling process led to a tasty, edible product. Over time, this process became refined into the cheesemaking techniques we know today.
