The yellow to red color of many cheeses, such as [[Red Leicester]], is normally formed from adding [[annatto]]. While most current varieties of cheese may be traced to a particular locale, or culture, within a single country, some have a more diffuse origin, and cannot be considered to have originated in a particular place, but are associated with a whole region, such as [[queso blanco]] in [[Latin America]]. | [[Herb]]s, [[spice]]s, or [[smoking (cooking)|wood smoke]] may be used as flavoring agents.

Cheese is an ancient food whose origins predate [[prehistory|recorded history]]. There is no conclusive evidence indicating where [[Cheesemaker|cheesemaking]] originated, either in [[Europe]], [[Central Asia]] or [[the Middle East]], but the practice had spread within Europe prior to [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] times and, according to [[Pliny the Elder]], had become a sophisticated enterprise by the time the [[Ancient Rome|Roman Empire]] came into existence. | Cheese is an ancient food whose origins predate [[prehistory|recorded history]].

The name of this cheese is derived from its specific texture. Thin, sometimes almost transparent, layers create a leafy structure, and make strings when the cheese is pulled apart. It has a pleasant mild fragrance. It does not contain high levels of fat, so its taste is mild and light.All producers make it in a similar manner, although every family has their own small secret that distinguishes their cheese, of which they are rather protective. What is known is that this cheese is made by combining the skimmed and whole cow milk. After adding the rennet, which makes milk curd, the cheese is drained and then frequently turned and folded.
