Maturing cheese

Good evening.

Does the following sound natural to you?

'A type of soft cheese that hasn't been matured for a long time.' (I mean: It has been matured for a short time).

Thank you.

Since 'maturing' can take along time, so that use of both isn't redundant, write 'matured over..."


But soft cheeses don't mature - they ripen, and quickly! So that, too, is redundant.

I would say, e.g.:

A type of soft cheese that has been matured/aged for a couple of months.
