  Honestly, the idea that America has a network of cheese caves makes the country a little bit more awesome.

    The best part is that dealing with old mines is a big issue (socially, land use wise, and environmentally). Re-purposing them as cheese caves has me howling.

    You shut up about that right now. it’s a national secret. What do you think we do with those abandoned wells?

      We had to tighten up security after the great maple syrup heist.

      It’s actually having to be used, since production of our sweet glory oil has been low.

  When the zombies start taking over I’m grabbing wine and crackers and setting up my base in the Cheese Cave.

    Thank you so much for this. The Wikipedia rabbit hole it opened up led me to the fact that “vintage” originally meant “wine harvest”.

      Etymology

      late Middle English: alteration (influenced by vintner) of earlier vendage, from Old French vendange, from Latin vindemia (from vinum ‘wine’ + demere ‘remove’).

      Interesting. It makes a lot of sense now, knowing that.

  Can I apply to be a government cheese handler? Chilling in caves all day, cool, comfortable, snacks…

  I mean yeah you’ll need to download your music and Netflix for the day but I’m willing if the pay is right.

  In Switzerland we have the tradition that for every kg of gold stored in a bank, we have to keep an equal value of cheese in the vault.

  I like to imagin its one big cheese cave secretly connecting the whole country, every store and the US collectively decided to always just pick a cheese out of it and close the door, while someone fills it back up by pushing more cheese into it from the other side.
