Someone else already mentioned caves, which have very stable temperatures overall.

I'll also add that temperature stability is one of those things that scales with mass. 500 grams of water/milk/cheese/whatever will have more variation in temperature than 50 kg of the same substance.

So cheeses were usually made in really, really big wheels, because that way the temperature would be more stable throughout, and then they'd just cut pieces out of the big block.
