The History of Cheese can be traced from more than 4000 years. However, we have not any evidence or book can be traced when and where is the very first cheese made. Ones believed that the cheese was discovered accidentally from the animals stomachs bag which storage the milk. It believed that an enzyme in stomach called rennin caused the milk separated into curds and whey. Another possible explanation is by salting the curdled cheese for reservation purposes.

However, Where is the most important sheep cheese in the Spain - Manchego be made? 

There is evidence found that Manchego Cheese producted on the La Mancha plains even before time of Christ.
