A world-famous Dutch classic
The Baby Edam is perhaps one of the most famous cheeses in the world. This round ball cheese originated in the North Holland town of Edam, where it has been traded for centuries. What immediately stands out is the iconic red wax coating. This protective layer was traditionally used to protect the cheese against spoilage and dehydration during long sea voyages. Today, the red rind still ensures that the cheese has a very long shelf life and remains beautifully supple.
In addition to its striking appearance, Edam is known for its soft, slightly salty and mild taste. Because it is a 40+ cheese, it contains slightly less fat than a standard Gouda cheese (which is 48+). This makes Edam a slightly more conscious choice. The cheese is delicious on a fresh sandwich, ideal for cutting into cubes for drinks, or surprisingly tasty in small pieces in a fresh salad.
Perfectly packaged for an optimal taste experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we understand how important the quality of your cheese is. We pack the Baby Edam extremely carefully. To protect the round shape and soft texture of the cheese during the journey, we always ship your order including a cooling pack. This way you are assured that the ball cheese arrives in top condition and is ready to be cut immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions about Baby Edam
Can I eat the red rind of the Edam cheese?
No, the recognizable red wax coating is not edible and is purely intended to protect the cheese. You must always cut off or remove this red layer before consumption.
How long can I keep a Baby Edam?
Thanks to the red wax coating, a closed, undamaged Baby Edam can be kept for a very long time. After cutting, we advise you to cover the cheese well (for example with cling film) and store it in the refrigerator. Then preferably consume the cheese within two to three weeks.
Is Edam cheese lower in fat?
Yes! Edam is traditionally a 40+ cheese, which means it contains less fat than, for example, a regular young Gouda cheese (48+). A conscious yet extremely tasty choice.
Do you also sell other sizes of Edam cheese?
Absolutely! In addition to this small baby size, we also have large Edam cheeses in our assortment. View our complete category Edam Cheese to discover all variants.
