About Edam cheess
Edam cheese is a semi-hard, pale yellow cheese originating from the Netherlands, named after the town of Edam. Made primarily from cow's milk, it has a mild, slightly nutty flavor with a smooth texture and is traditionally coated in red paraffin wax to preserve freshness. Edam is lower in fat compared to many other cheeses, making it a popular choice for lighter meals. Rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, it supports bone health and muscle function. However, like most cheeses, it is relatively high in sodium, which should be considered in diets aimed at reducing salt intake. Often enjoyed in European cuisine and widely used in sandwiches, salads, or as a snack, its mellow taste pairs well with fruits like apples and grapes. While Edam offers nutritional benefits, moderation is key due to its calorie and sodium content.
