Love it or hate it, cheese remains the king of Italian tables. We eat it every day, with bread, with pasta, on its own. Aged or fresh, hot or cold, as an ingredient in complex dishes or on its own. We eat it while feasting and we eat it while dieting. We use it to make anything and everything, from starters to desserts, and it ends up in our plates at all times of the day, from breakfast to aperitivo.
Cheese has a history as long and ancient as that of Mankind: specialists believe prehistoric man discovered by chance how to produce it and we never quite stopped since then. The Egyptians were quite fond of goat cheese and mentions to cheese are found also in the Bible. The Greeks and the Romans loved it and produced in large quantities.
