Smoked Edam

Smoked Edam is a variety of the popular Dutch Edam cheese that has been subjected to a smoking process. Smoking gives it a golden-brown rind, a more pronounced flavour and a subtle smoky aroma that complements the naturally mild saltiness and delicate milky taste of Edam. It works well on a cheese board, in sandwiches, on toast, in salads or as part of baked dishes. It melts nicely, making it a good filling for pastry-based dishes too. It is available in various fat contents and can be bought as a whole wheel or pre-sliced. It is produced by both natural smoking and liquid smoke.
