History of Imsil N Cheese

In 1958, Father Ji Jeonghwan, a missionary from Belgium, arrived at Imsil, Jeonbuk.
The governor of Imsil County at that time asked him to do something for the county, and after much pondering, he decided to make cheese.

The first cheese made in 1967 smelled and tasted strange and a series of failures ensued due to inferior cheese making techniques.
However, after overcoming several more failures and setbacks, the Father finally created the Imsil Cheese of today.
