What is the purpose of the wax on edam cheese ?!
Is it harmful if you swallow any of it !?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
The colour of the wax coating tells a lot about the cheese!. The typical red wax coating denotes a young Edam produced for export!. In Holland, the cheese is sold with a yellow wax coating!. A black wax coating shows that the cheese has been matured for at least 17 weeks and therefore has a stronger flavour!. Other colours of wax coating can be found, for example, a green coating generally indicates that the cheese contains added ingredients such as herbs or garlic!.
Wax is a natural non-toxic substance but why would you want to eat it!?
Edam is available in both full fat and reduced fat varieties and is also suitable for use during pregnancy as the milk used is pasteurised and there is therefore no risk of Listeriosis!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
