Oh that makes sense, I never knew it was a dutch cheese. Do you know how long people have been eating it?
1_Wizard
from what I remember around 1184 is when it's first mentioned anywhere so around then i guess, pretty long time

That is such a long time ago, are there any other cheeses that old?
1_Wizard
honestly i'm unsure of the oldest but i do know that people used to make in a sheep's stomach so it's probably been around for awhile before 1184
