Just finished some 12-yr old cheddar. Exquisite. It did not even come
close to some 28-yr old cheddar I had in the early 80's. That taste was
beyond description, a once-in-a-lifetime tastebud thrill. Grocery store
variety of aged cheddar is usually 4 years. I think there are laws
against molesting 4-yr olds cheese, at least there should be.
