Another discovery in the Balkans has attracted the attention of researchers from around the world. According to archaeologists, remnants of cheese were found in an ancient clay jug. The contents of the ceramic vessel are approximately 7,000 years old. Excavations in Croatia continue – everyone is curious about what else archaeologists will find.
The age of Balkan cheese is twice as old as Egyptian dairy products.
Excavations in Croatia
Containers with cheese were found off the coast of Dalmatia. Scientists have definitively established that the finds belong to the Neolithic era. Additionally, researchers note that the frequent discovery of dairy remnants in Europe and Egypt indicates that ancient people were not allergic to lactose. Similar to the Slavic people.
The clayware on legs and the shape of the vessel with a lid suggest that, in addition to cheese, the ancient population of the Balkan Peninsula also produced yogurt. However, there is no confirmation of this hypothesis yet. Only assumptions.
