"Researchers using special chemical analysis found the first cheese making in Northern Europe took place in the 6th millennium BC. The first unequivocal evidence that humans in prehistoric times made cheese more than 8,000 years ago was uncovered in research led by the University of Bristol. By analyzing fatty acids extracted from unglazed pottery pierced with small holes excavated from archaeological sites in Poland, the researchers showed that dairy products were processed in these ceramic vessels. The nature of the sieves, close in shape to modern cheese-strainers, provides compelling evidence that these specialized vessels have been used for cheese-making. Before the study, milk residues had been detected in early sites in Northwestern Anatolia (8,000 years ago) and in Libya (nearly 7,000 years ago)." w/ photos
