Ingredients of Old Edam Cheese
Ingredients:
Fat 40+, pasteurized cow's milk, rennet, salt, starter culture
The authentic taste of a Dutch classic
Edam cheese is famous worldwide for its round shape and distinctive taste. While the young variant is mainly soft and mild, the Old Edam cheese offers a completely different taste experience. This cheese has been allowed to ripen peacefully in the cheese warehouse for months. During this ripening process, the cheese loses a lot of moisture, making the structure firmer and slightly more crumbly. At the same time, the delicious, crunchy ripening crystals develop in the dairy that are so loved by fans of old cheese.
The taste is full, intense and wonderfully piquant. Because Edam is a 40+ cheese, it contains slightly less fat than a standard Gouda cheese (48+). This makes the cheese not only slightly more conscious, but also provides a firmer bite. Old Edam is a fantastic cheese for the cheese board, is excellent for grating over warm dishes and tastes phenomenal in combination with a robust glass of red wine or a nice port.
Carefully packed for optimal quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we understand that you want to receive this high-quality old cheese in perfect condition. We treat your order with the greatest care. The cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum, so that the rich aromas and the firm structure are optimally preserved. In addition, we always ship your order including a cooling pack. As a result, you bring absolute top quality into your home, which you can perfectly keep fresh in the refrigerator for weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions about Old Edam Cheese
What is the difference between Edam and Gouda cheese?
The main difference is in the fat content. Gouda cheese is a full-fat 48+ cheese, while Edam is a 40+ cheese. This makes Edam cheese slightly less fatty and has a firmer, slightly drier structure, especially when the cheese is old and matured for a long time.
Can I eat the rind of the Edam cheese?
No, the rind (or the characteristic wax layer) of the Edam cheese is not edible and should be cut away before consumption. This layer protects the cheese during the long ripening process.
Are there salt crystals in this old cheese?
Yes, definitely! Because this cheese has matured for months, the proteins have been converted into small, crunchy ripening crystals. These are often confused with salt crystals and provide a delicious bite and an extra intense taste experience.
Do you also sell other types of Edam cheese?
Absolutely! In addition to the old variant, we also sell young Edam and various small Edam ball cheeses (Baby Goudas). View our complete category Edam Cheese to discover all our tasteful variants.
