No Whey! Seven Surprising Facts About Cheese

Cheese. It’s so good, we’ve put it on nearly everything. Or rather, it’s so gouda, we’ve put it on nearly everything. This week, Science Friday is celebrating all things cheese, from delicious mozzarella to cave-aged cheddar. You may know that cheese has a long and storied history, but were you aware of these cheesy facts? @bechter Brandon Echter is Science Friday’s engagement manager. He loves space, sloths, and cephalopods, and his aesthetic is “cultivated schlub.” @dpeterschmidt Daniel Peterschmidt is Science Friday’s digital producer. He’s also a musician and loves spaceships.
