This acronym occurs several times in an audit report for a cheese-making plant. It is used when referring to the product types produced by the plant (which are types of Emmental).
Not much context, I'm afraid:
- nombre de familles de produits et de références produits par familles :
4 familles : emmental ADT (12 produits) ; emmental ASF (75 produits), fondu (22 produits), Emmental allégé (4 produits)
This is typical. Thanks in advance for any insights!
This term is obviously linked to my other question, about ADT, and I originally put them both in the same question - this was removed because I asked about two terms - even though they're obviously connected.

: That's the one! Probably better 'matured' for a cheese rather than 'aged'

Thanks, Tony. That's what I originally thought too, but "aged" seems to be more à la mode.

Comment: "Many thanks for this help! I went for "matured" in the end in my translation (client preference)."

I doubt there is a dedicated EN term for this
