Cheese has been known for a long time but there was a large improvement in cheese making during the Middle Ages. Many of the modern varieties of cheese available exist because of the innovation of monks during period. During the Renaissance cheese lost some of its popularity and was thought by many to be unhealthy.
Cheese is one of the few foods that are safe to eat after developing mould. You are advised to cut off the mould, unless of course, it is a mould cheese.
To recognize good cheese:
Not at all white like Helen,
Nor weeping, like Magdalene.
Not Argus, but completely blind,
And heavy, like a buffalo.
Let it rebel against the thumb,
And have an old moth-eaten coal.
Without eyes, without tears, not at all white,
Moth-eaten, rebellious, of good weight. - From Le Menagier de Paris
