Edam cheese
[ EE-duhm ]
Hailing from Holland, this mellow, savory
CHEESE has a pale yellow interior with a red or yellow paraffin coating (the yellow is more common in Holland). It's made from part-skimmed milk (40 percent milk fat) and comes in spheres that can weigh anywhere from 1 to 4 pounds. Edam is second only to Gouda as Holland's most exported
CHEESE. It's a great all-purpose
CHEESE, especially good when served with dark beer. See also
CHEESE.
