Chesire Cheese

Chesire Cheese is Britain's oldest named cheese it can be dated back to Roman Britain and is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. In the 16th century it was a favorite at the Court of Elizabeth I. Originally, Cheshire was made near the village of Chester on the River Dee, but it soon spread to farms throughout the county of Cheshire. Originally, cheese making in Cheshire was practiced on farms during the Spring, Summer and Autumn to conserve the milk from the fresh grass.
