Located in: Cheese, Holland

Even though it is double the size of a two-pounder, it takes four times longer for a four pound Edam to age. That is why four pounders are typically softer and more mellow than two pound Edams. Beautifully presented in a red wax with a red cellophane overwrap, this Edam makes an outstanding gourmet gift.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Aged for 120 days.

Comments about Edam - 4 lb:

I love this cheese. Edam is a terrific cheese; firm but smooth, nutty and rich but not overpowering; very tasty. It slices well, it cubes great (one of my favorites for a cheese platter) and it holds it shape well when at room temperature without weeping or getting shiny. The 4# size is a bonus. The larger size is slightly creamier and dare I say a little smoother in taste. [...]

We used to make Philadelphia style Cheese Steaks, melted just right into the sandwich. Love this cheese.

Is a 4 pounder better than a 2 pounder?

Comments about Edam - 4 lb:

The best Edam I have ever tried in United States. Reminds me of years I lived in Holland -yes, it tastes like real Dutch Edam! Semi -hard, no problem cutting it, amazing in cheese-mayo-tomato kind salads, or as a snack. I highly recommend it!
