From the creator

To see how to use this cheese in a Medieval Cheesecake, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCCJ2Qpr1nM I'll show you step by step and give a bit of the history of cheese, from Egypt, to Greece, to WWII and Nixon. Learn how we went from curdled milk in a sheep stomach to the wide world of cheese we know today. While not strictly medieval, this cheese (Green Cheese, Farmer's Cheese or Cottage Cheese) is perfect to use in medieval recipes, which I'll be doing in the next episode when I make a medieval cheesecake called a Sambocade.
