Aged cheese is a little riskier than aged wine.

Even so, cool!

With some Merlot, it might be just fine!

Remember when Jesse dispatched his son David with ten cheeses for the captain of a thousand?

A forty day impasse. What to do? What to do?

Must have been a present, to go with all the whine.

Gouda thinking, while nobody knows Jack.

That’s the Davidic line for you. Operating on a whole other planet.

Cheese was an ancient source of portable nutrition. It was developed by ancient people and remains sustainable today.

Bog butter is another really aged find. Apparently edible after more than 3000 years.

If you really want your cheese aged, gotta go to the tomb of Ptahmes:

Cheese discovered in 3,200-year-old tomb

Me, I prefer cheese that requires a chain saw to cut into...

Archaeologists uncover 2,600-year-old blocks of white cheese in Egypt

2600 years later, it’s still gouda.

"Egyptian white cheese? No, seems we haven't had any of that for 2600 years."

“Archaeologists uncover 2,600-year-old blocks of white cheese in Egypt”

I suspect it was more like “blue cheese” by now.

As always, there’s no picture of the article’s topic. Not your fault but is definitely a trend like it’s some big secret with archaeologists.

That’s ok, I made some homemade yo-cheese today and baked it into a cheesecake!

I’d expect pyramid shaped white cheese since its in Egypt. Then again, I’m not a cheeseologist.

it’s not old cheese, it’s just aged cheese.
