Ancient Faeces Reveal Humans Ate Blue Cheese And Drank Beer 2,700 Years Ago
The Guardian
|October 15, 2021
It's no secret that beer and blue cheese go hand in hand: now a study reveals how deep their roots run in Europe, where workers at a salt mine in Austria were gorging on both up to 2,700 years ago.
Scientists made the discovery by analysing samples of human excrement found at the heart of the Hallstatt mine in the Austrian Alps.
Lead author Frank Maixner, a microbiologist at the Eurac Research Institute in Bolzano, Italy, said he was surprised to learn salt miners more than two millennia ago were advanced enough to “use fermentation intentionally”.
