The assumption that cheese has holes is not true. Many times I come home with cheese with no holes.

    Yup! The first premise is wrong, since there is plenty of cheese without holes—meaning that more cheese does not imply or equal to more holes.

    Can’t imagine the weight of air inside the holes is significant compared to the weight of cheese; taking a glance at the numbers, cheese is 800-900x more dense than air. Given cheese is sold by weight, more holes = very slightly less cheese, practically negligible.

    Now I’m curious about how much space a block of 99% holes cheese would occupy. Maybe something like aerocheese, with a whole bunch of microscopic air bubbles throughout.
