Edam, the most famous Dutch cheese, is made with partially-skimmed
cow's milk, and is meant to be eaten within weeks of its creation, while it
is still smooth. Pasteurized milk is heated to 86 degrees F, and bacteria
is added to increase the acidity level. Liquid rennet is added to create
curd, and the curd is cut into tiny pieces, then heated to 104 degrees F,
then drained, molded and pressed. After the cheese is salted, it ripens at
50 degrees F. Edam intended for export is wrapped in red wax. </DIV>
