Thomas Jefferson: The Cheshire Mammoth Cheese was a gift from the town of Cheshire, Massachusetts to President Thomas Jefferson in 1802. The cheese was created by combining the milk from every cow in the town, and made in a makeshift cheese press to handle the cheese's size. The cheese bore the Jeffersonian motto "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." It weighed 1250 pounds and was kept in the White House for public viewing. Because people said, Let's go see the big cheese," Jefferson was soon identified with it and became, himself, known as "the big cheese." From there the expression evolved as a generic phrase designating anyone who held an important or influential position, in government, business, or other arenas.
