  • Meat, Milk and Scripture
    Meat, Milk and Scripture Early Rabbinic Interpretations of the Biblical Prohibition of a Forbidden Mixture A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of History and Cultural Studies (Institute of Jewish Studies) of the Freie Universität Berlin Harriet Publicover Berlin, 2020 Supervisor: Prof. Tal Ilan Second examiner: Prof. Mark Geller Date of defence: 10 December 2018 Declaration of independent work: I hereby declare that I have produced the submitted thesis independently, using only the literature and resources indicated. Berlin, 20.10.2020 Harriet Publicover לליאן, אהובי For Lian, my love ABSTRACT Meat, Milk and Scripture: Early Rabbinic Interpretations of the Biblical Prohibition of a Forbidden Mixture This thesis addresses the early rabbinic interpretations of the thrice repeated biblical commandment, you shall not cook a kid in his mother’s milk (Exodus 23:19; Exodus 34:26; Deuteronomy 14:21). While this commandment is considered to be the source of the Jewish prohibition of mixing meat and milk products, there is no evidence that such a dietary custom was practised until after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. In this sense, it may be assumed that this particular interpretation of the biblical commandment was a rabbinic innovation, perhaps inspired by a desire to create a protective buffer around the biblical prohibition of cooking a kid in his mother’s milk. Over the course of this thesis, I will illustrate how the rabbinic practice of separating meat and dairy was later systematically justified and given scriptural authority through the exegesis of this seemingly specific biblical commandment.

Seven Basic Styles of Cheese Milk – Type, Source and Qualities 6 Basic Steps to All Cheese Making 30 minute Mozzarella A Very, Very, Very, Brief History of Cheese... “The actual time and place of the origin of cheese and cheesemaking is unknown. The practice is closely related to the domestication of milk producing animals; primarily sheep, which began 8-10,000 years ago. The art of cheesemaking is referred to in ancient Greek mythology and evidence of cheese and cheesemaking has been found on Egyptian tomb murals dating back over 4000 years. Cheese may have been discovered accidentally by the practice of storing milk in containers made from the stomachs of animals. Rennet, an enzyme found in a stomach of ruminant animals, would cause the milk to coagulate, separating into curds and whey. Another possible explanation for the discovery of cheese stemmed from the practice of salting curdled milk for preservation purposes. Still another scenario involved the addition of fruit juices to milk which would result in curdling the milk using the acid in the fruit juice.” - Excerpt from “History of Cheese” on The National Historic Cheesmaking Center. The Seven Basic Styles of Cheese Fresh: These unaged cheeses are the ones without a rind. They are moist and soft with a creamy texture and mild taste. Examples include many goat cheeses, mozzarella, ricotta and queso fresco.

  • The Israeli History of Cheese — and How to Make Your Own
    Join Eat, Drink + Think The Israeli History of Cheese — and How to Make Your Own January 28, 2016 By Carol Goodman Kaufman Cheese Image: Facebook/Champlain Valley Creamery Chaplain Valley Creamery’s award-winning Organic Champlain Triple cheese. Ancient legend has it that an Arab merchant living some 4,000 years ago put his supply of milk into a pouch made from a sheep’s stomach as he set out on a journey across the desert. The rennet in the lining of the pouch, combined with the heat of the sun and the bouncing of the camel onto which the bag was tied, caused the milk to separate into curds and whey. After his long day of traveling, he was hungry and thirsty, and he was delighted to find that the whey satisfied his thirst, and the delicious curd — what we call cheese — satisfied his hunger. Israel was so active in cheese making that the historian Josephus wrote that the ravine separating Mount Moriah from Mount Zion in Jerusalem was called the “Valley of the Cheese Makers.” Unfortunately, cheese culture in the holy city, or in Israel in general, didn’t quite live up to its ancient title for many years. When I lived in Jerusalem, the corner makolet sold “yellow cheese” and “white cheese.” Aside from the totally uninspired names, those cheeses didn’t have much flavor. There were only a handful of other varieties available, including bulgarit, a feta-like cheese, and of course, labneh, a staple on every mezze platter. Tzefatit, a salty sheep’s milk cheese, was the only one that could lay claim to historical authenticity, having been produced in the ancient northern city of Tzefat for centuries.

After showing the composition of the biofilms adhering to the surface of the traditional dairy equipment (mainly wooden vat used to collect milk) and the microbiological characteristics of PDO Pecorino Siciliano cheese manufactured throughout Sicily, this cheese is taken as a case study to develop a strategy to improve its hygienic and safety characteristics. Basically, the natural lactic acid bacterial populations of fresh and ripened cheeses were characterized to select an autochthonous starter and non-starter cultures to stabilize the microbial community of PDO Pecorino Siciliano cheese. These bacteria were applied at a small scale Citation: Gaglio, R.; Todaro, M.; level to prove their in situ efficacy, and finally introduced within the consortium for protection and Settanni, L.

  • Cheese Variety and Affordability
    Cheese Variety and Affordability Keeping Your Supplier Options Open As a nation of immigrants, the United States is a melting pot of cultures. Many American cheese companies have inherited their cheese making skills from European immigrants who came to America with a dream and their best cheese recipes. This is how the U.S. cheese industry started almost two centuries ago. Cheese makers first made common cheeses from their homeland such as “parmesan” and “feta”—just to name a few—and to this day, they have continued these traditions. These cheeses became household favorites in the United States long ago and have since won the hearts of many other nations. However today, an alarming situation is developing. The names of some of those most popular American-made cheeses are being threatened by the European Union’s (EU) attempts to claim sole ownership of such names. Why should this matter to you? of future suppliers, thereby leading to higher costs. This could even force buyers to alter their current importing Well, these European efforts threaten to limit global relationships and the business they have already supply options from the United States and other major developed. Ultimately, this would have commercial dairy exporting countries. If that occurs, international ramifications on buyers’ market shares, business sales, cheese buyers would face a significantly restricted scope and profitability. n More than 790,000 mt of feta was produced outside of Greece in 2014. That’s more than 10 times the amount of feta produced in Greece. Similarly, 64% of all exported feta is non-Greek feta.
