Aged Like Cheese
Aged Like Cheese
A lot of food tastes the best a short time before it spoils.
Fresh beef tastes good. One day old beef tastes like chewing on a rubber piece. Stored at the right temperature in a low moisture atmosphere for 4 weeks it turns into exclusive dry aged beef. One more week and it’s spoiled.
This is a different thing. It’s because it’s aged as a cheese wheel in controlled conditions, when you buy it, it’s not a wheel anymore, it’s been opened and you buy a wedge, hence it’s open to contamination.
It’s still unlikely for a 7 year aged cheese to go bad in two weeks unleass you store it unrefrigerated, but if you vacuum seal it, it will last a long time.
Yeah how dare people let food that’s
checks notes
high in fats, sugars, and possibly moisture spoil so easily.
Pink salt has a different mineralogy than other salt which does affect the flavor.
Part of eating is also visual enjoyment, so even if the texture/taste was exactly the same, you enjoying looking at it is also part of the experience.
Not the correct sort of fridge??
