Located in:
Cheese, Holland
Often compared to Swiss Emmental, but much smaller in size when produced, this nutty flavored, mild cheese gets its characteristic appearance of large "eyes" (holes) and a domed top from a special bacteria which emits carbon dioxide during the maturation process. Known by the common name of "Maasdam," Leerdammer is a perfect complement for salads and sandwiches and is ideal for melting.
- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
