Leerdammer
Leerdammer is a Dutch cheese made from cow's milk. It was invented by Cees Boterkooper and Bastiaan Baars in 1977 in Schoonrewoerd, but nowadays the production takes place in Leerdam, hence the name. The cheese has a smooth, springy, open, and creamy texture, while the flavors are mild, sweet, and nutty.
It's often described as a cross between Gouda and Emmental. Leerdammer is traditionally aged from 3 to 12 months. It is recommended to use it in sandwiches, salads, and various cooked dishes.
