World's oldest cheese found in Egyptian tomb — but it may be filled with a deadly disease https://ab.co/2vRG3lH

Aged cheeses might have an appeal but a 3,200-year-old sample of the popular dairy product found in Egypt may be just a little too old — and diseased — for even the most dedicated cheese connoisseurs.

The cheese was found in the tomb of Ptahmes, a 13th-century BC mayor of Memphis, Egypt, and according to a new study in the journal Analytical Chemistry it is probably the most ancient solid cheese ever discovered.

"The sample was wrapped with a canvas into a broken jar," said lead author Enrico Greco, from Italy's University of Catania.

"The archaeologists suspected it was a kind of food left for the owner of the tomb and they decided to ask for chemical analyses."

I.... I don't know if I'm in or out for this.
So conflicted!

1. I'm barely in for new cheese.

Old cheese? Nope.

2. I'd say that's

a dairy product long past its "use by" date.

3. Why didn't they eat their cheese?

What did they up and move? Who leaves the cheese?
