Title: Wasabe Edam
Post by: Brie on August 12, 2010, 02:19:08 AM
I don't enjoy plain Edam, but have started adding some flavorings that make it a wonderful cheese. This is a Wasabe Edam. Followed the recipe on this site and added Wasabe powder (2 tsp) to the curd before pressing. Aged for 60 days, and the flavor was quite good--not overpowering.

Looks delicious. Not too much heat, huh?

At 2 tsp Wasabe, how much milk did you start with?

2 gallons. I don't know that I'd add any more--just the right touch of a different taste.

Interesting choice Brie. Edam is kind of blah I usually just eat it with my horseradish dijon style mustard. Never thought to add it t the cheese. Good job!
