Edam cheese is a semi-hard cheese named after the town of Edam in North Holland, where it was originally produced. The cheese, made using pasteurised cow's milk, is known for its mild, nutty flavour and distinctive round shape covered in a red or yellow wax coating. It has a smooth, firm texture that becomes more crumbly as it ages. The cheese is typically aged for a few weeks to a few months, although some varieties can be aged for a longer period for a more intense flavour. Edam cheese can be sliced and eaten on its own, added to sandwiches, melted in hot dishes, or used in salads.
