Yes, your right about aging and, I'm getting up there in my 5th decade.
I really got into this when I bought a new brand of pepperoni and it was
too salty for my S.O., so I cut back on the salt in the sauce by half
and I was amazed at how some of the other flavors came out, so I felt
that getting just the minimum salt is critical to balance so all the
flavors will come through.
