About Joseph Harding
- Joseph Harding (22 March 1805 in Sturton Farm, Wanstrow, Somerset, England – 1 May 1876 in Vale Court Farm, Marksbury, Somerset) was responsible for the introduction of modern cheese making techniques and has been described as the "father of Cheddar cheese".
- He is credited with having invented the "definite formula" for the production of cheddar cheese.A number of websites describe him as the inventor of the Cheese Mill.
- It is unclear if this assertion is true.
- The cheese mill is different from the cheese press, which has been used traditionally for centuries.
- Certainly Harding introduced new equipment into the process of cheese making, including a "revolving breaker" for curd cutting, which saved much manual effort.
