What do you mean by "It is also made backwards"? -- OpheliaDork 03:57, 21 November 2005 (UTC) "edam" == reverse("made"). It was just vandalism/test-edit. -- TotoBaggins
My late Latin teacher (may $DEITY bless his soul) told me "edam" is Latin for "I am going to eat". It suits this cheese rather well. JIP | Talk 22:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
What is this "smells like poo and tastes like gold" bit? Roundeyesamurai 07:17, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
According to the text, "sold as spheres with ... a coat of red or yellow paraffin". But what do we see in the picture? Rectangular pieces of cheese with no coating at all! Could somebody find a more appropriate picture for this fine and popular cheese? 88.112.98.204 15:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I will buy some Edam and take a photograph of it... maybe tomorrow... and wtf is this "smells like poo" business i have not seen that anywhere Soopermuse ( talk) 00:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
This cheese is named Edammer cheese. The article should be moved to thee correct name. User:8472 08:13, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
I think this article needs to be written more professionally because this does not look like it fits Wikipedia's standards. Hachiko 21:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
The Christmas template was removed. I concur, because its status as a Christmas cheese is not universal, but a highly regarded part of Filipino culture, as noted and linked in the article. - Lexein 16:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
In the text of the article it says that typical fat content of Edam is 28%, but in the boxout on the right it says that it is 11%. Which is correct? Andy Buchanan ( talk) 16:58, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
I have a packet of "Go Dutch Edam cheese" which says on the packet that approximately 68% of the calories are from fat, so the above assertions can be challenged. ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 14:49, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
which lies between Edam cheese and Vegetarian Edam cheese to reduce the content of cow milk but remaining the consumer's preferences???
NB: Vegetarian Edam cheese is available at www.mainland.com.au —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.228.147.130 ( talk) 03:16, 9 February 2009 (UTC) I believe that forcified cheeses with pastoral cereal milk, such as rice, oats, soy or other crops will reduce dairy allergy enormously. Human mankind should do everything, including food consumption, more advanced than pets do-- 165.228.147.130 ( talk) 04:15, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
The research on this issue is not difficult and I beleive that sensory evaluation is the tool that will be used mostly
Some time ago, an unsourced version of this tidbit was reverted because it was unsourced. Well, I found the source, but it's surely not notable until she actually gets the tat:

I personally think it's notable that MSU produces and makes available Edam, but to be encyclopedic, there should be _no_ multiple links to a single site - that's called link spam. I've trimmed it back, but the whole MSU mention is vulnerable to deletion without WP:CITE decent citations. -- Lexein ( talk) 23:29, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Two great old books about cheesemaking, including sections about Edam:

The current revision of the article mentions that Edam is coated in "black" wax, instead of the usual red or yellow- the cheese in the accompanying picture is, ironically, coated in red wax. Any sources about the coloration? -- Danfish77 ( talk) 02:18, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
A request was made to reduce the number of headers, but I removed them all. the article seems too short to have headers. I hope you agree. Simplysavvy ( talk) 11:12, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Edam cheese. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.
Cheers. — cyberbot II Talk to my owner:Online 14:12, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
I've made changes and added a worldwide section that mentions Babybel cheese. Most people familiar with Edam cheese outside of the few customary countries know it from Babybel, the largest manufacturer of such cheese. Despite somewhat acting as promotion for Babybel, it provides context to the popularity of Edam cheese worldwide. The citation used needs improvement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cxmplex ( talk • contribs) 17:22, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
The Infobox states: "Source of milk: Primarily cows/goats." Is that true? I cant find any source that states goats milk is a part of it. It should be purely made of cows milk. The dutch version of Wikipedia also states its cows milk. So whay does it say cows/goats here? -- SevenMass ( talk) 10:52, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
It’s mentioned in S13E15 of bobs burgers on the burger of the day. The Edam and weep burger. Comes with Edam cheese and raw onions. 2601:1C0:5400:FBE0:6DAD:59FB:789D:7F4C ( talk) 06:11, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
