What is Edam cheese?

Edam cheese is a semi-hard cheese with a lower fat content than
other cheeses. It has a slight salty or nutty flavor and almost no
smell. As Edam cheese ages, the flavor becomes sharp and the cheese
hardens. Edam travels well as it does not spoil.
Edam cheese is traditionally sold in spheres with a pale yellow
interior and a coat of red paraffin wax.
Edam cheese originated in the Netherlands and is named for the
town of Edam in the province of North Holland.
