I was at a cheese shop that had 45 year aged cheddar. Something like $60 for two ounces.
I love cheddar so sharp in makes your gums bleed. I’ve had 6 and 8 year old cheddar.

I have never gotten what ‘sharp’ means in cheeses.

Oldest I’ve had is 7-year and that was pretty expensive at the time.

I would describe ‘sharpness’ in cheese as the ‘tangy-ness’ on the tongue.
My ‘everyday cheese’ for snacking and cooking is always an Extra-Sharp Cheddar.

It seems to correlate to saltiness, at least to some degree.

Reminds me of the news item about the shortage of olive oil I saw yesterday. The price has gone up 36% and some chefs oil now costs $40 (bottles looks like quarts or liters) instead of $30. Could most people actually taste the difference between that olive oil versus the 2 liter bottles they sell at Sams or Costco for much less? Same with cheese.

I have lost a lot of weight by cutting out ALL WHEAT, and my go to snack is pretty much ONLY cheese and pepperoni
I few pieces and I am good.
The biggest thing I notices from stopping all wheat is that I am no longer hungry all the time. Sometimes I forget if I’ve eaten some days.
The issue is that wheat clogs your system, and you don’t absorb nutrients, so you’re always looking for more things to eat.
Also my joint pain is completely gone. If I have anything with wheat I can barely walk the next day - instant inflamation.

“...20-year aged white cheddar...”
Does time spent lost at the back of the fridge count?

We’ve discovered Old Croc cheddar out of Australia. It has those wonderful crystals in each bite. We pair it with Raincoats crackers. Life’s too short for basic cheese.

The issue is that wheat clogs your system, and you don’t absorb nutrients, so you’re always looking for more things to eat. Makes sense. If your body is short on nutrients, it will crank up your appetite. If you don't eat what it needs, then you will still be hungry.
