In this extra-creamy episode, Donald takes you on a rich and fascinating journey through the history of cheese – from its mysterious (and slightly accidental) origins in the ancient world to its rise as a global food icon.

Discover how cheese travelled from prehistoric pouches to Roman feasts, medieval monasteries, industrial factories, and finally to the artisan stalls we know and love today. Packed with fun facts, historic oddities, and a good helping of dairy drama, this episode is a must-listen for curd nerds, foodies, and festivalgoers alike.

🧀 PLUS: Hear how monks helped invent some of your favourite rinds, why cheddar became king, and where you can find moose cheese. Yes, really.

🎟️ And don’t forget – early bird tickets for the Sturminster Newton Cheese Festival are only available for a short time! Visit cheesefestival.co.uk to grab yours before prices rise.

Because cheese isn’t just food – it’s history on a cracker.
