The famous red cheese from Edam
Worldwide, the Edam cheese is one of the most famous cheeses from the Netherlands. This cheese, originally named after the North Holland town of Edam, can be immediately recognized by its round ball shape and the striking red wax coating. Traditionally, this red layer was used to protect the cheese well during long sea voyages. Today, it is mainly the nostalgic and festive trademark of the export Edam.
The taste of a young Edam is particularly accessible: soft, slightly salty and wonderfully mild. Because the cheese is made from partly skimmed cow's milk, it has a fat content of 40+. This makes it slightly leaner and firmer than a standard Gouda cheese (which is 48+). This makes the cheese not only ideal for cutting into cubes for drinks, but also delicious as a soft topping on bread or to grate and gratinate in warm oven dishes.
Carefully packaged for the best quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we understand how important it is that your cheese arrives in perfect condition. That is why we pack the red Edam cheese extremely carefully and completely airtight. To ensure that the firm, yet creamy structure and the soft taste are preserved, we ship your order with a cooling pack as standard. This allows you to bring absolute top quality into your home, which also remains fresh for weeks unopened.
Frequently Asked Questions about Edam Cheese
Is the red wax layer of the Edam edible?
No, the red wax layer (made of paraffin or wax) is purely intended to protect the cheese and is not edible. You should cut this away before consumption.
What is the difference between Edam and Gouda cheese?
The biggest difference is in the fat percentage and the shape. Edam is a round ball cheese with a 40+ fat content, which makes it slightly leaner and firmer. Gouda cheese is usually a flat, wheel-shaped cheese with a 48+ fat content, which makes it often slightly creamier and fattier.
Do you also sell other Edam cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to this famous red ball, we also have other delicious Edam cheeses and small ball cheeses (Baby Gouda) in our assortment. View our complete category Edam Cheese to discover all our variants.
