Nothing beats a well-loaded cheeseboard. But while so many of us enjoy a stinky stilton and ripe brie, or chuck a reliable old cheddar into our basket at the supermarket each week, what do we actually know about the history of the cheese we eat? From sustaining Roman troops to becoming a staple in lunchboxes across the globe, the history of cheese is a fascinating - and surprising - story that spans thousands of years and many continents. In this 'everything you wanted to know' episode, Isabel King is joined by cheesemonger and author Ned Palmer to explore the development of various flavourful fromages and how they have shaped societies worldwide.
