         When milk turns sour or curdles, it separates into a thin , runny liquid and white, fatty lumps. The liquid is called whey and the lumps are called curds. The curds are used to make cheese. It takes approximately ten liters of milk to make one liter of cheese. Cheddar, one of England’s oldest cheeses, is made from cow’s milk. The cheese originates from the village of Cheddar in Somerset, south-west England. Cheddar has been produced since at least the 12^th century. Cheddar was actually considered a luxury product until the 19^th century when Joseph Harding, a Somerset dairyman, invented cheese mill capable of mass production.
