Edam is made out of pasteurized cow milk, the curd is semi-cooked and pressed in spherical shape weighing about 1.8 kg. It is aged for 4 to 6 weeks in a dry cooled chamber.
At the end of the period, it has a fruity, clear flavor, very aromatic and somewhat piquant. Sparse holes about the size of a hazelnut give it irresistible appetite appeal when displayed in a supermarket.
Edam is a typical table cheese (the long aging ones – up to 18 months – may be grated) and can be eaten on its own, on cheese plates ("plateau de fromages") and cheese and wine parties.
It may be tasted with green grapes, apples and pears. We recommend having it with white fruity wine (Riesling or Asti).
