Cheese is typically aged but after it already became cheese by curdling (usually using renit) and undergoing some fermentation.

In parts of the world where you can get raw milk (ie not the us) milk sours and becomes something like buttermilk. Some farmers cheeses are made from raw milk that has curdled in this way.

In the us, milk is pasteurized completely enough that it rots instead of souring. I believe this phrase is American in origin, and is intended to be in contrast to the phrase “ages like fine wine”. Whatever the case milk does not become better milk with time.




Also most of wine do not age well. Especially white varieties (except for Riesling).
