About Edam
Edam is a semi-hard cheese originating from the Netherlands, named after the town of Edam. It is traditionally formed into rounds and coated in a distinctive red or yellow wax rind. Made from cow’s milk, Edam is known for its mild, slightly nutty flavor and firm, smooth texture that becomes drier as it ages. Nutritionally, Edam is a good source of protein and calcium, important for muscle health and strong bones. It also contains Vitamin B12 and phosphorus. However, like most cheeses, it is relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Edam pairs well with fruits such as pears and apples and is commonly used in Dutch cuisine but also enjoys versatility in global recipes, ranging from sandwiches to gratins. It’s a popular choice for those seeking a milder cheese with a lower fat content compared to richer varieties.
