Excavations in Croatia - ancient clay jug

Another find in the Balkans attracted the attention of researchers from all over the world. According to archaeologists, the remains of cheese were found in an ancient clay jug. The contents of the ceramic vessel are approximately 7 thousand years old. Excavations in Croatia continue - everyone is wondering what else archaeologists will find.

The age of Balkan cheese is 2 times older than Egyptian dairy products.

Vessels with cheese were found off the coast of Dalmatia. Scientists have accurately established that the finds belong to the Neolithic era. Researchers also note that frequent discoveries of dairy product residues in Europe and Egypt indicate the absence of allergies in ancient people to lactose. Like the Slavic people.

Pottery with legs and the shape of a vessel with a lid suggest that in addition to cheese, the ancient population of the Balkan Peninsula also made yogurt. But while there is no evidence of this assumption. Just a hunch.
