If there鈥檚 one delicacy you could virtually eat anywhere , anytime, and at any size, it鈥檇 be cheese. You can just have a bite of that delicious cheese, munch it alongside meaty delicacies, and even put cheese spread on your bread. Perhaps you are curious to learn more about cheese, so here are six fascinating facts for you.
History. People have been eating cheese for so long as anyone can remember , even well before documented history. Historians believe that cheese making started as early as 8,000 BC to as late as 3,000 BC when sheep were tamed. There is a story that cheese production was incidentally uncovered simply by storing milk in a container made from an animal鈥檚 stomach, where the milk transformed into curd and whey by the rennet inside. In those days, animal skins and blown up internal organs were utilized to store food.
Art. Producing cheese later became a form of art. Large Roman families got special cooks that later established methods for smoking and incorporating various flavors into cheese, which were eventually passed on elsewhere. Expectedly , resources in those locations allowed various varieties to be created.
Age. If you鈥檙e the same as most people, you probably prefer the cheddar variety in your local food store. Alternatively, some folks also love aged cheese. Rather similar to wine, cheeses that are stored for extended periods eventually produce a sharp, powerful yet unique taste. Aged cheese is quite costly, normally selling as candy-like confections for about $60 per pound. They are best savored in tiny portions to last in your fridge for a while.
Scotch. You鈥檙e probably thinking: Scotch and cheese complement each other? In the annual Wisconsin Cheese Originals festival , specific brands of cheese are found to go well with scotch. Such cheeses would make a great gourmet cheese gift for your family and friends who crave for cheeses of different flavors.
Make. There are several known cheese makers around, crafting and developing the goody ever since 19th century. Manufacturers of cheese provide for over 2 billion pounds of cheesy goodness each year. Some even offer a Master Cheese Maker course for those serious enough to perfect the craft, similar to those in Europe for making goods like cheese dips or aged cheese.
There is a lot more to understand about cheeses. But one thing is without a doubt: Cheese, regardless if in solid form or liquid dip mix, is here to last. Read more about cheeses at and .

Most of the entrepreneurs we interview in our consulting business have a very unrealistic conception of what excites and disappoints investors. The dream of many inexperienced inventors seeking to fund their opportunity is to build a substantial infrastructure. Their business plan identifies the need for factory space, equipment, staff, and many other fixed costs.
Investors want to see a plan that maximizes return on investment. High fixed costs are the enemy of a great profit margin. When business turns down, and it always does at some point, fixed cost assets become liabilities and must be continually fed , even as income declines.
Always present decision-makers with the most streamlined operations plan possible. Do not confuse grandiose staffing and equipment wants with actual needs. In today's business climate, almost every possible service can be rented, leased, farmed out or performed by contract manufacture. A 25,000 square foot factory that is not running at 100% capacity is an under-performing fixed cost asset, especially if a private label manufacturer will provide the service at a competitive price. The cost to rent , power, insure maintain and staff the facility is ongoing and will be a drain on the bottom-line.
Investors want to see a lean operation with no fat or excess. They will always be open to adding costs as growth and sales traction begin to kick in. Initially, the entrepreneur needs to display that he or she will be a prudent shepherd of the investment required to startup the enterprise. Here are a few areas where fixed costs can be avoided and potential investors greatly impressed.
Facilities
An opportunity killer is a funding request that includes money to buy a facility, office or plant. No startup can accurately pinpoint the growth (or failure) rate of a brand new business. Investors will want to see a plan reflecting realistic goals and space requirements. This almost always means renting facilities until need demands a purchase of facilities.
Manufacturing
There are almost no good reasons for a startup to manufacture their own product. Possibly, if there is a very valuable trade secret involved, but not often even in that case. All contract manufacturing should include a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) as part of negotiations. Contract manufacturing is available and utilized in almost every industry today. Estee Lauder manufactures almost none of the many cosmetic or fragrance products they market. Liz Claiborne and Calvin Klein make none of their apparel. Ikea sells only furniture made in third world facilities.
All of these companies , and many more, realized long ago that manufacturing was better left to factories located where labor, raw materials and government rules were not stifling. These companies concentrate their assets on research and development, design, sales and marketing. So should every entrepreneur seeking to succeed in obtaining investment.
Sale
Every entrepreneur should be able to aggressively market and sell their product. However, no single person , or small partnership, can be in front of every customer that will potentially be interested in purchasing the product on offer. The investor will want to know that there is a sales strategy that offers an excellent . |
