I always thought the first person to eat cheese must have been either desperate or brave or both
It turns out though, that the fermentation made it far, far easier on the stomach for our caveman friends, and that's how it became so popular and widespread
Cheese was also quite important for military campaigns and the like because it is nutritious and has a long shelf life, which is at least documented for the time of the ancient Romans. So the person who dared to try it first is indeed a historically significant figure - but in my eyes more of a culinary mastermind.
It's also super calorie dense ona weight to volume ratio
