One of the most interesting
aspects of the booklet aside
from its excellent cheese recipeS,
I s. the history of Holland's fine
cheese.,
Apparently it was early in the
lath century yvhen fadners In
the northern parts - of Holland
;discovered that the mixing Of
skimmed milk with whole
morning milk helped to make a
most smooth and mellow cheese.
Delighted with their delicious
product, these farmers gave a
unique identity to the cheese by
polishing the rind with
specially -treated vermilion cloths
which imparted an unusual
reddish glow.
And, just to make sure the
cheese could be recognized,
these farmers 'agreed to a
uniform foundish hape and
decreed that this cheese could be
sold only in the town of Edam.
'
Meanwhile, . further south,
farmers near the town of Gouda
were busy creating a whole milk
cheese subtly different in taste
and texture. Equally desirous of
maintaining their identity, these
farmers made their ,cheese in
flat, wheel -shaped design,
protected by a natural yellow
rind.
Together., „these .Goudas and
Edams,. .as 'they -grew "to -be
called, became familiar in the
market places of Europe. By the
17th century, the demand for
1jJJusand Edams was
such that they .were being
shipped around the world. „
Today these, attractive red
balls and flat yellow wheels are
almost as typical of Holland as
the much displayed tulips,
windmills and wooden shoes.
