National Cheese Day Facts

According to the International Dairy Foods Association, the first cheese is believed to have been created accidentally more than 4,000 years ago. Supposedly, an Arabian merchant had put his supply of milk into a pouch made from a sheep's stomach. Leaving it all day, an enzyme from the stomach called rennet had caused the milk to separate into liquid (whey) and solids (curd).
There are about 1833 known varieties of cheese.
According to a 2021 YouGov poll, America’s favorite cheeses are:
1) Cheddar (19%)
2) American (13%)
3) Mozzarella (9%)
4) Swiss (8%)
