Haven't heard of this before. We talking years of aging till they go hard? And what does it taste like then??

I was recently diagnosed with lactose intolerance. A friend of my wife is also lactose intolerant and indeed mentioned that old cheese could be eaten with no or less problems. Dutch cheese (i.e. Gouda cheese and such) is considered old with 10 to 12 months of aging. Anything older than that is considered aged cheese in the Netherlands.

My body seems okay with regular old cheese (if not eaten by the pounds ofcourse).
