Honestly, I've tried and have failed to notice a significant textural difference between 2-year aged cheddar and younger cheddars (even the same brand) in dishes like grilled cheese sandwiches and macaroni and cheese. I've never understood what people are talking about. These are not dishes where the cheese needs to stretch and you're looking for stringy stretching. Basically all you need in these two dishes is a cheese with the melted texture of a very thick sauce. That's what mac and cheese is, cheese sauce, and in grilled cheese it just needs to hold the two pieces of bread together. I do not notice age affecting texture in a way that makes it better or worse, but I do notice that I prefer the stronger taste of more aged cheddar. So that's what I continue to use. And it tastes flavorful and the texture is as expected. Seems to me people get very worked up over minute differences in texture that don't actually improve the experience. I think it's just that when it comes to these childhood comfort foods, people want exactly what they're used to. It doesn't taste better because it tastes better, it tastes better because of nostalgia. And I suppose that most grilled cheese eaters didn't grow up eating aged cheddar sandwiches. I find the texture of melted American unpleasant, but I didn't grow up eating it. It sticks to the inside of one's mouth and I don't understand why the texture is so prized. I much prefer the texture and taste of cheddar. What does it matter how homogenous a cheese sauce is? As long as it isn't broken, it's a delicious melted cheese texture.
