Ripening (aging) is the process of holding fresh cheese at controlled temperature and humidity to develop its flavor, aroma, and texture. Enzymes and microorganisms transform the cheese during this time. The longer the period, the firmer and sharper the cheese becomes.
Where It's Used
“Leave the cheese to mature for months in a cool, damp cellar.”
