How to make Penicillin?

How to make Penicillin?
This is an odd question, so let me rephrase from the title. Penicillin, if memory serves, was created in 1923. Yet, it seems to take next to no technology to make, considering it's made from a mold. Could penicillin have been discovered earlier in history? If someone had gotten lucky earlier, could it have been discovered, say, in the dark ages? (Assuming the church wouldn't have viewed it as witchcraft and murdered everyone involved in making it, of course.)

Or does the technology required to make penicillin not exist until later in history? (I'm not talking about mass production tecniques, just the technology required to produce some of it.)
What falls away is always, and is near.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD
