Red-waxed cheese is a type of cheese that is covered in a red wax coating. The two most popular types of red-waxed cheese are Edam and GOUDA, both of which originate from the Netherlands. Edam is a semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk and has a mild, buttery flavor. GOUDA is a semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk and has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. Both cheeses are aged for several months before being coated in red wax.
