Welcome to Science Cliff Notes! In this episode, we’re diving into an exciting discovery covered in Popular Science by Lauren Leffer. Her article, "World’s Oldest Cheese Found in Necklaces on Mummies in China," explores how archaeologists have unearthed the world’s oldest known cheese, dating back around 3,500 years. This ancient cheese, discovered in a burial site around the necks of mummies, wasn’t just any cheese—it was kefir, a fermented dairy product that likely held significant cultural meaning.
