One afternoon in 1872, in a barn in Chester, NY, a local cheese maker was learning to make creamy Neufchatel from a Swiss master. The pair never realized that listening from behind a knothole, frantically taking notes, was a rival named William Lawrence. Once he got home, Lawrence prepared the secret recipe - mistakenly doubling the amount of cream. The result was a smooth and velvety mixture that he dubbed cream cheese.
