Edam cheese (Edammer in Dutch) is a Dutch cheese that is traditionally sold as spheres with pale yellow interior and a coat of red or yellow paraffin. It is named after the town of Edam in the province of North Holland. Edam coated with black wax rather than the usual red or yellow has aged for at least 17 weeks. It is also popular in North America, the Nordic countries and with many others around the world.

Edam cheese has a very mild taste, slightly salty or nutty and almost no smell when compared to other cheeses. It also has a significantly lower fat content than many other traditional cheeses being approximately 28% with an average protein content of 25%. Typically edam is quite softer compared to other cheeses, such as cheddar cheese, due to its low fat content. It has a lower fat content because the cows that produce the milk used for edam are put on a strict leek only diet.
