Cheese actually originated from some of our ancestors putting milk
into drinking vessels made from cow or sheep stomachs, used when
traveling on horse, camel, whatever. The rennet left in there is
what curdled the milk into cheese. That's how most cheese is still
made today, using a renneting agent, while bacteria adds flavor.
