Roman cheese press found in ditch
A rare Roman cheese press has been found in a ditch near the
home of the famous Stilton cheese.

The 3rd Century press was found near the village of Stilton in
Cambridgeshire by potter Richard Landy.                                The cheese press has been
                                                                       dated back to the 3rd Century
Archaeologists said the press would have been used to make cheese
from the milk of either goats or sheep.

The find suggests the village, after which Stilton cheese is named, may have been associated with cheese-
making for more than 1,800 years.

Mr Landy said: "I was elated when I found the press. I have already found extensive evidence of the
Roman period from a number of sites around Stilton."

Philippa Walton, county council finds liaison officer, said it was a truly exceptional object found in a very
apt spot.

This cheese press, from Balmuildy Roman fort, is from the collection of the Hunterian
Museum and was selected by Louisa Hammersley, postgraduate student at the
Department of Archaeology, University of Glasgow. Louisa writes - cheese presses are
rare finds in Scotland and this is an extremely well preserved example. Without
refrigeration, it would have been impossible to keep milk fresh during the 2nd century
and it was normal practice for milk to be converted into butter or cheese to enable long-
term storage. Bacteria formed as milk warmed, causing it to curdle, curds and whey were
separated, curds were treated by cutting and shredding to make hard cheese. They were
then placed into perforated cheese presses which allowed whey to be drained away and
curds hardened into the shape of the press. I like this because cheese is still made the
same way today and it shows how Roman practices influence our lives in the present day.
