Edam cheese
Edam ((オランダ語:Edammer), (:ˈeːdɑmər)) is a semi-hard cheese that originated in the Netherlands, and is named after the town of Edam in the province of North Holland.〔(Official Edam Town website ) Tourist information. Retrieved 11 April 2007〕 Edam is traditionally sold in rounded cylinders with a pale yellow interior and a coat, or rind, of red paraffin wax. Edam ages and travels well, and does not spoil; it only hardens. These qualities (among others) made it the world's most popular cheese between the 14th and 18th centuries, both at sea and in remote colonies.〔(History of Edam Cheese ) Edam.com. Retrieved 11 April 2007〕 A major producer of Edam is the FrieslandCampina company in Marum, The Netherlands. In the U.S., the May-bud brand is sold by the Churny Company, a subsidiary of Kraft Foods.〔 Company website.〕
==Content==
Most "young" Edam cheese sold in stores has a very mild flavor, slightly salty or nutty, and almost no smell when compared to other cheeses.〔
〕 As the cheese ages, its flavor sharpens, and it becomes firmer.〔 It has a significantly lower fat-content than many other traditional cheeses; Edam may have as little as 28% Fat in Dry Matter. Modern Edam is softer than other cheeses, such as Cheddar, due to its low fat-content. However, it is not quite as suitable for toasting as are certain other cheeses, such as Cheddar.
