The process of maturation or aging of a food, particularly cheeses, cured meats, or wines, to develop and enhance its flavor, aroma, and texture
italian pronunciation: [sta.dʒo.na.’tu.ra]
Cheese never stands still: every day that passes changes it and evolves its textures and aromas. For this reason, the aging process is as crucial to the quality of the final product as the manufacturing process.
