Hard ripened cheeses are simply cheeses that become harder as they ripen. Now don’t
let this simple definition fool you. Age, more often than not, will enhance a cheese’s
complexity in flavor and texture. This is best illustrated with a cheese like Gouda. Young
Gouda is bland, insipid, and belongs in Shop Rite. However, if you take a wheel of that
cheese, throw it in a closet, and forget about it for one year, it will develop a crystalline
texture and a seductive, butterscotchy sweetness that will make it irresistible.
