==Maasdam cheese - General information==

[[Image:Maasdam cheese.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Maasdam cheese]]
====Origin====
* Maasdam cheese or [[Maasdammer cheese]], is a [[Swiss]]-style [[Dutch cheese]]. Made from [[Cow's milk|cow's milk]], it is aged for at least 4 weeks. It ripens faster than other [[Dutch cheeses]]. Maasdam has internal holes from the ripening process, and a smooth, yellow rind. Sometimes, it is waxed like [[Gouda]].

====Cheese group====
* The [[Cheese|cheese]] was created to compete with [[Swiss]] [[Emmental]] by being less expensive and quicker to produce. In the process of making a [[Cheese|cheese]] with the same general components as [[Swiss cheeses]], the [[Dutch]] ended up with a cheese that is nutty and sweet, but softer than [[Emmental]] due to a higher moisture content.

====Milk type====
* [[Pasteurised]] [[Cows' milk|cows' milk]], using [[Vegetarian rennet|vegetarian rennet]]

====Strength and texture====
* A sweet and nutty [[Cheese|cheese]], similar to [[Emmental]] only slightly softer. Originally produced in 1984 by the Baars company as the trademarked [[Leerdammer cheese]].

===Suppliers===
My favourite way to buy this [[Cheese|cheese]] is from Aldi as they do ready sliced packs of 16 slices for less than £2.
