Riddle

Not born, but from a Mother's body drawn, I hang until half of me is gone. I sleep in a cave until I grow old, then valued for my hardened gold. What am I?

Choose an answer

A.Wine.
B.Milk.
C.Honey.
D.Cheese.
Hint: It's a word with 6 letters, starting with "C".

Answer

Cheese.

Why this is the answer

Cheese is made from milk drawn from a cow, hung or pressed to lose moisture, aged in cellars or caves, and fine aged cheeses become more prized ("hardened gold") over time.
