EDAM (SEMI HARD CHEESE)
Edam is semi-hard cheese. 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. Edam has a lower fat content of approximately 42% of the gouda and higher protein compared with other traditional cheeses.
MAASDAM (HARD CHEESE)
Maasdam cheese is a Dutch cheese in a Swiss-style. Made from cow‘s milk, it is aged for at least 4 weeks. It ripens faster than other Dutch cheeses. Maasdam has internal holes from the ripening process, and a smooth yellow rind. Sometimes it is waxed like Gouda. The cheese was created to compete with the popular Swiss Emmental by being less expensive and quicker to produce. In the process of making a cheese with the same general components as Swiss cheeses, the Dutch ended up with a cheese that is nutty and sweet, but softer than Emmental due to a higher moisture content.
GOUDA (SEMI HARD CHEESE)
Gouda, or “How-da” as the locals say, is typically made from pasteurized cow’s milk. Gouda has textured semi-hard cheese with mild and unique flavor. Gouda has higher fat content than Edam. It also has a variety of flavors with the addition of other spices like cumin seeds, mustard and black pepper.
