About Edamer cheese

Edam cheese, originating from the Netherlands, is a semi-hard cow's milk cheese notable for its mild, slightly nutty flavor and smooth, pale-yellow texture. Traditionally encased in a distinctive red or yellow wax rind, Edam is a versatile ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes, often featured in European cuisine. It is lower in fat compared to many other cheeses, making it a popular choice for those seeking a lighter option. Edam is a good source of protein and calcium, which are essential for strong bones and muscle health. However, it also contains significant amounts of sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key in a balanced diet. With its long shelf life and ability to pair seamlessly with fruits, wine, and bread, Edam cheese serves as both a nutritious and delicious addition to meals or snack platters.
