Hello everybody!
I'm working on an Excel spreadsheet and the terms appear in a long list I assume will be used on a website that sells cheese online.
I'm afraid I can't provide further context because the section that's causing me trouble is preceded by 'TIPOS DE QUESO' (Oveja, Cabra, Mezcla) and followed by FORMATO (Rueda, Cuña, Cortado, etc.)
CURACIÖN
**Añejos**
**Viejos**
Curados
Semicurados
Tiernos
I've classified my question as 'PRO' but I'm not really sure if my question falls under that category.
Spanish from Spain into UK English.
I would appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.

Depending on what you are using for curado and semicurado, you may need to use "old" for viejo.
Note from asker:
| Thank you, Wendy! I'd forgotten all about 'vintage'. I should have researched wine, not cheese :) |
| Yes, I've used 'cured' for 'curado', which is what the company uses. |
| Thank you! |

Mature vs. Aged
Mature meaning that it has been kept long enough and is now ready.
Aged almost equals old, but old has a negative connotation when describing food.
