Imported cheese is a type of cheese that is made outside of the country it is being sold in. Two popular imported cheeses are Edam and GOUDA. Edam is a semi-hard cheese that originated in the Netherlands and is made from cow's milk. GOUDA is a semi-hard cheese that originated in the Netherlands and is made from cow's milk and sheep's milk. Both Edam and GOUDA have a mild, nutty flavor and are often used in cooking.
