Description

Maasdam cheese contains more moisture than Emmental and is therefore softer. It has a soft, creamy texture and a delicate nutty, sweet and slightly spicy flavor. It is especially known for its excellent melting properties. It is chosen by many producers for its cost efficiency and ease of processing. The cheese is supple, firm and uniform, with oval, regularly spaced eyes of different sizes and a yellow rind. The holes are caused by the growth of propionic acid bacteria, which are responsible for the characteristic flavor. Maasdam is sometimes waxed.
