I think Platina would say so:
Aged cheese is difficult to digest, of little nutriment, not good for
the stomach or
belly, and produces bile, gout, pleurisy, sand grains, and stones.
They say a small
amount, whatever you want, taken after a meal, when is seals the opening of the
stomach, both takes away the squeamishness of fatty dishes and benefits the
digestion and head. (Milham translation, pg. 159)
