1910 - Canned butter shipped to Asia.
1916 - Method for processing cheese discovered. In 1916, Chicago businessman James L Kraft invented a method for the pasteurisation and emulsification of cheese. By halting the natural maturing of cheese during processing, he had discovered a method for storing cheese indefinitely.
In the same year, he supplied the first batch of Kraft canned cheese to the US Armed Forces.
His invention of a cheese that could be stored indefinitely was soon acknowledged as one of the greatest advances in cheese-making history.
