Cheese is aged until it matures.
It would seem that what Americans call "aged cheddar" Britons call "mature cheddar".I'll rephrase my question. What would be the difference between aged cheddar and mature cheddar?
Thank you for that link. ;-)'aged cheddar' is not a term recognised by the British Cheese Board - British Cheese Board - Cheddar. It's probably a term thought up by some marketing whizz-kid.

As we so often say in this forum, the number of google hits proves nothing. COCA and BNC are far more reliable sources if you want to find out what native speakers actually say and write.What's so funy?
