He meant since back in the day food from Europe had to travel on a ship for months, you can't order Brie or anything like that. It would spoil. So Edam it is.
I've been waxing various kinds of cheeses for a year or so and if you let it age for a few months it tastes even better than when fresh. Since you can just remelt the removed wax, you only have to buy a block of wax every few years. Great for long term pantry storage.
The hardened wax just peels off when you are ready to use it. It doesn't stick to the cheese. Assuming you use the proper cheese wax they make just for this process
In the Netherlands the normal candles you find in stores are usually made of Stearin or Beeswax. Paraffin candles can be found... but in general considered to be highly inferior and just a very cheap knockoff.
@@bakasheru That makes more sense then. I'm from a part of the world where the cheap candles are more ubiquitous for lighting and emergency use when the power goes out.
@@karateman302 You're probably right ;) I'm east from there, in Gelderland, near the Dutch-German border. Actually, where you can bike in a safe environment (like in the Netherlands and some other parts of Europe),, and you just bike normally (not racing, using a high velocity electric bike or do acrobatics), wearing a helmet actually increases risk of injury by various means and doesn't protect against the big injuries (they are too flimsy... to survive real collisions you need a motor helmet). Examples: Larger traffic is less careful around you when you're wearing a helmet and the helmet itself protects against certain levels of fall damage to your skull but increases the chance of neck injuries. In places where there's less or no bike infrastructure and you always have to share the road with fast traffic, wearing a helmet may makes sense. Also, when you're still learning to bike and may fall yourself, or when you're moving on a bike with high speed as a sports cyclist or riding on high speed electric bikes (say, more than 15 mph). But if your situation is similar like in the Netherlands, where most cities have a separate bike infrastructure (from cars and pedestrians) that can bring you mostly everywhere and there are bike exclusive highways as city interconnects and between major city areas, wearing a helmet really makes no sense.
Hello chief. That is so funny. My own anecdote is there is a Filipino candy that looks wrapped in paper but the wrapping is edible and delicious and is crumbly. I have seen unwary first time consumers trying to unwrap it.
Actually quite a lot of medicine (capsule pills) are made with oil byproducts. Even most polymers are done from oil. The eco , green ext heads don't understand that oil is not just fuel and if we stop it for "environmental reasons" - tones of products will go extinct.
In Indonesia this cheese is also called "keju tua" (literally means aged cheese). We have been using it for ages. I.e, it is the main ingredient for kaastengels (cheese finger cookies) and cheese nastaar (minipinieapple pie). Almost every household's serve them to guests during Hari Raya Seasons either on Eid or Christmas.
No it‘s not. In the sense that the human body doesn‘t digest it. Is it harmful to eat the wax? No because the body doesn‘t digest it. In the one end, out the other. No harm done.
Being waterproof and can last for years traveling on ships. No wonder the cheese is popular in the Philippines.
It's also the most common cheese in Czechia (landlocked country in the centre of continental Europe). Your logic doesn't seem to apply here.

The popular 'cheese' in the Philippines isn't real cheese.
yep, no wonder why its a staple food during Christmas

I just avoid the hairy cheeses
How do you melt the wax off the cheese without the whole thing getting too messy?

I JUST BOUGHT cheese wax. I'll be making my own waxed cheese for Christmas 2023.
Oh man, I haven't watched this show in ages. So happy this channel was recommended to me.
What show is this from
@@christopherlbooth2332 Food Unwrapped XD
Sorry just came across this was wondering how a 20k channel could afford this. Realised there just a repost channel
@@christopherlbooth2332
Ya, they cut up the old episodes and post it on their channel.
I'm confused. He was saying that they use paraffin wax which is different from candle wax. But modern candles ARE made from paraffin wax. 🤔
A lot are soy or beeswax
Most modern candles are made from paraffin wax, but they're also commonly made of beeswax, soy wax, or palm wax.

@@rbauer961 we only use them for atmospheric lights during the winter period and for religious purposes.
I came here cause I ate the red wax and I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to 😅😅😅
Had no idea but now it makes so much sense.
I would love to visit Holland in the future and see the sights of Amsterdam.
And the hookers
Edam is the perfect cheese to eat raw like a snack
with salami slices and crackers
@@GabagoolGang No
Which I just did. 😊
pretty convoluted way to say it's covered in wax so it remains a soft cheese after aging.
damn.. now im wondering if i ever ate edam rind before...
Paraffin will go right through your system without really being digested. No big deal.
I have 😂😂
Love this bit of info bout my fave cheese ! Thanks!
2:03 That´s what she said.
😂
Your brain is still in your trousers.
This cheese was somehow brought to the Philippines by the Spanish too. Not sure if its edam specifically or just another wax coated cheese.
It is. Queso de Bola is Edam cheese.
Funny to see the presentator riding a bicycle wearing a helmet 😁 here we don't use them when ride our bicycles 😁
Where's here? It's not here because here we have helmets on bikes???
Yeah in Australia it is illegal to ride a bike without a helmet
@@Guitar-Dog I suspect from their username and context that 'here' means Holland since that's where she was biking.

I like this channel... should have millions of views
"Noooo! That's the Wrong Cheeeese! Go for the big one!"
That is why Korea they love cheese on everything even Ice cream its delicious!!
I think every country loves cheese.
TKS! Before watching this video, I thought that outer 'wax' is edible.

@@TheHuesSciTech that is absolutely true. Accidental ingestion is harmless or else it will be banned associated with food.
@@TheHuesSciTech TKS! Like vaseline (petrolatum).
Very interesting 😮
Watching this while munching on belcubes
Cheese wrapped with a petroleum byproduct, delicious and I'm so glad that I found out, it'll taste that much better now.
cool story
Never used a lip balm? Vaseline is petroleum jelly :-)
@@oldfartinthenight9201 Lip balm is also delicious, I love the petrified algae flavor

who are they calling at the start of all these videos?
Customer Helplines
Terry tibbs
Each other 😂
Here in the US we have it as red wax
I ate the wax! Why the wax? What it is for?
On a bike with a helmet on in the Netherlands? That screams ‘I’m prone to falling’ (an epileptic for example) or ‘I’m a tourist’.
I don't like the idea that food is emersed in petroleum byproduct.
How was it coated traditionally?
Beeswax
You can eat the red thing?
Fromage?
omelette du fromage from dexter's lab 😄
Edammer cheese wasnt made in Edam, it was sold there.
waar heb je dat vandaan, meeste bronnen noemen Edam als de plek waar de gelijknamige kaas ook vandaan komt
3:17 Did they export the cheese to India?
the sailors took it with them for food along the voyage primarily
Well, the truth is Dutch East India Company never went to India 😂
Dutch East Indies is now called Indonesia. But surprisingly I had never heard of this cheese from Indonesians.
@@marcheck3400 I'm Malaysian. I knew about this cheese but I never heard of this cheese around Indonesia either.

is it safe to eat parafin wax coated with cheese
I think only a little. I ate plentiful amount when I was a kid. I didn’t know it was paraffin. I thought just natural wax 😢
If Joseph was a cheese maker instead of a carpenter, what would he have called his cheese shop? ______________________
TFS! Great stuff! 👍👏👍👏👍👏✌️❤️🇺🇸
Is wax safe to eat?
perfectly safe
Made of petroleum ...
@@fjb4932 its a byproduct. Not the same.
It doesnt harm the body because its not digested by the hody
this is what kind of chews baby bell is
Y’all eat your cheese with or without the zest
Oh no I ate that wax too, is it edible?
No it‘s not. In the sense that the human body doesn‘t digest it. Is it harmful to eat the wax? No because the body doesn‘t digest it. In the one end, out the other. No harm done.
Edam cheese is wrapped in wax, and Adam cheese is wrapped in fig leaves! 🧀 🤣
0:44 I thought he said glocks
For me, Edam cheese is better than parmesan for spaghetti!
How about why fruit has a wax coating??
Lol, the dude wearing a helmet while cycling 10 km pu
Just curious, what happened to the covid mask thing, social distancing etc over there?
Probably this is record before covid.
Cop Valda doesn't ring a bell. What's the town's name in Dutch?

Tengo un compañero de trabajo que no le gusta el queso de ningún tipo nosotros le decimos que si quiere ir a comer algo de queso y dice que no
But why do lemons have wax and oranges
Plants have natural wax on the surfaces but some add wax like beeswax to prolong shell life longer
2:02 hehe
Is it toxic ?
Marco doesn't look like a fan of the ladies.
Good that i saw this videos or else id have eaten the wax .
