(Cheese that's grown mold in the fridge, not cheese that was intentionally aged a lot before sale)

pity, i was expecting an article in defense of delicious aged Parmesan cheese, which, so I heard, is quite good for cardiovascular disease prevention, e.g.: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9318947/ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1471-0307.1... Well, at least if stays not so popular it may avoid the mass creation of fakes like they do with Manuka honey.

Parmesan cheese already faces issues of a number of fakes cropping up though.

The article doesn't specifically require mold; it only argues that mold is safe if the cheese is hard and salty. It's more about how cheese that's been forgotten in the fridge actually continues to age and develop flavors -- a poor man's cheese-aging cave.

The big fun tidbit is the 40-year-old cheddar from Wisconsin, forgotten in a walk-in cooler.
