Ruby Tandoh: how I was turned into a human cheese
Bacteria from my face have been used to make a wheel of stilton. It’s not gross, it’s art – and it is about to go on display at the V&A’s new food exhibition
I am about to be made into a cheese. The designer and engineer Helene Steiner is serene in her lab coat, brandishing a cotton swab and sweetly asking if I would consider letting her probe between my toes for a bacterial culture that will turn fresh milk into a wheel of stilton. She has already shown me the centrifuge, the deep freezer, the little petri dish where she will deposit my bacterial sample and the incubator in which the microbes will grow overnight. It is an unlikely setting for a laboratory or a cheese dairy – a converted shipping container tucked away behind Shepherd’s Bush market in west London. But then there is nothing normal about spending a chilly spring day having your germs harvested for cheese. “I want to be a nice cheese. Please not my feet,” I plead with her. “How about my face instead?”
Selfmade started as a research project combining biotechnology, engineering and art. The brainchild of the synthetic biologist Christina Agapakis and the artist Sissel Tolaas, in conjunction with the University of Edinburgh and Stanford University, these cheeses aren’t beautiful, or even edible; they’re grown from the bits of us we would usually scrub away. While one of the cheesemakers working on the original Selfmade experiments said she would happily sample them, and they may well be safe to eat, they are not offered for consumption. And yet, as anyone who has ever walked past a supermarket cheese counter will have smelled, the bacteria present on human skin, from noses and ears to feet, have much in common with those in the cheese we eat. Microbacterium lactium from an armpit might smell yoghurty, sour and floral. Likewise, as Agapakis charmingly points out: “Limburger cheese offers a remarkably close substitute for the smell of human feet.”
