Edam cheese has its name and much of its history from the Netherlands. It is from the town of Edam, which is only a short drive from the big city of Amsterdam.

The shape also made it easy to unload the boats for the farmers, where they let their cheeses roll in chutes into the warehouses in the city. <\/p>\n
