About Cheese edam
Cheese Edam, originating from the Netherlands, is a semi-hard cheese made from cow’s milk. Known for its mild and slightly nutty flavor, Edam is typically encased in a signature red wax coating, preserving its moisture and freshness. It has a lower fat content compared to cheeses like Cheddar, making it a popular choice for those seeking a lighter option. Edam is rich in protein and calcium, essential for bone health, and contains vitamins like B12, which supports energy and neurological functions. On the downside, Edam is relatively high in sodium, which may not be ideal for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Commonly used in European cuisine, it pairs well with fruits, breads, and wines, making it a versatile addition to meals or snacks. Its smooth texture and subtle flavor make Edam appealing for all ages and a staple in cheese lovers’ kitchens around the world.
