History and Origin of National Cheese Lover Day

Our research did not identify the creator of this day, or when it began. Or, perhaps it was two young lovers who spent the day savoring their favorite cheeses. All we can be sure of is that it was someone who loves cheese.

There is no evidence to suggest that this is truly a “National” day, which requires an act of congress. We found no congressional records or presidential proclamation about this special day.
