The history of goat’s milk in cheese

The process of coagulation of goat’s milk was most likely discovered accidentally. Milk used to be transported inside animal bladders, which naturally produce rennet. The storage of goat’s milk next to rennet caused its coagulation, leading to the first rudimentary fresh cheeses. Faisselle-like cheeses, believed to be the most ancient type of fresh cheese, date back some 7 thousand years.
