About Maasdam cheese

Maasdam is a Dutch-style cow’s-milk cheese known for its large, rounded holes and smooth, elastic paste. It is commonly eaten sliced in sandwiches or served as a table cheese, and it also melts readily in cooked dishes.

Its interior is pale yellow, with a supple texture and a mild, buttery, slightly sweet flavour. It is generally sold as a ripened wheel or in cut portions and slices; ripening time and producer can influence firmness and flavour.
