Features imported from Holland partially skimmed cow's milk Holland's most exported cheese red waxed ball with pale yellow interior aged 30 days
Editorial Reviews: A cheese that defines Dutch culture, Edam is a mellow, savory, slightly salty cheese that has a pale yellow interior with a red or yellow paraffin coating. (The yellow is more common in Holland; the red is intended for export). It is made from part-skimmed milk (30 to 40 percent milk fat) and comes in spheres with flattened ends. Edam, named for a Dutch town, is second only to Gouda as Holland's most exported cheese. It is a great all-purpose cheese, especially good when served with dark beer. Our red-waxed two pound Edam is over-wrapped in gorgeous red cellophane, making it the perfect cheese gift. Made from pasteurized cow's milk. Photo depicts whole 2 lb. form of cheese. Aged for 30 days.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Recommended Comment: This cheese is an affordable option for entertaining since it is modestly priced in comparison to other imported European cheeses. It also slices up nicely and will look (and taste) good on party cheese platters. The cheese is mild in taste and quite inoffensive. When we were growing up in Asia, we had a cheese similar to this but with a more pronounced flavor. We would grate this cheese over pasta dishes. It was good to rediscover this cheese from Holland and relive childhood memories. The company (not Amazon) who handled the transaction sent the cheese out immediately and it arrived in excellent condition. I would order from the company again. More Reviews
