1865 Breakfast Cheese is Born
Jefferson Thompson purchased a 700 acre “rancho grande” dairy ranch after migrating west from Illinois on the wagon train. He began making a type of “bar cheese” using what was left after making butter. Following the Gold Rush, the San Francisco Bay saw a dramatic increase in the population of failed miners turned dock workers, which led to an egg shortage. To meet the sudden and growing demand for a morning protein alternative, Thompson responded by creating a unique fresh cheese. The cheese was shipped on the Steamer Gold and distributed by “wagon men” who came to the ranch to cart it in to San Francisco and Los Angeles. Petite Breakfast is still enjoyed today at any time of day.
このチーズメーカーがアメリカ最古の会社、このチーズがその会社の始めての製品、しかもゴールドラッシュ時、卵不足で港湾労働者のタンパク質不足、それを解消するために朝食のサブスティチュートとして作り出したものなんだそう。だからBreakfastなのか。
Cheese Trailで工場も見学したはずなんだけど、どこ観てるんだかｗ。
