Many cheeses such as Cheddar, Cheshire and Lancashire are made by draining off as much whey as possible, by gravity, leaving only the moist curds.

 Sheepdog - Volume 16, Issue 5
One good example is Munster cheese, invented by Benedictine monks, after they established a monastery in Alsace around the year 660.
In fact "Many typical European cheeses are named after Benedictine monasteries of the period: Belleaye, Chaligny, Beval, Briquebec, Champaneac, Chambarand, Citeax, Cluny, Conques, Igny, Laval, Mont-Des-Cats, Munster, Saint-Maur and Tamie." Maroilles is another cheese that was invented by a monastery, and also named after it, as were the cheeses Port Salut and Saint-Nectaire.
But more importantly we learn that while the poets don't talk a lot about cheese, they are the ones who invented a large percentage of the cheese that we eat today, and they most certainly laid the foundation of cheese development and production for us moderns.
