Why does Edam Cheese have that thick Wax Coating? | Food Unwrapped 

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.

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.

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?

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

I JUST BOUGHT cheese wax. I'll be making my own waxed cheese for Christmas 2023.

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.

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.

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.

@@rbauer961 we only use them for atmospheric lights during the winter period and for religious purposes.

with salami slices and crackers

@@GabagoolGang No

Which I just did. 😊

Your brain is still in your trousers.

And the hookers

Paraffin will go right through your system without really being digested. No big deal.

I have 😂😂

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.

@@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.

It is. Queso de Bola is Edam cheese.

I think every country loves cheese.

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.

Paraffin will go right through your system without really being digested. No big deal.

@@TheHuesSciTech that is absolutely true. Accidental ingestion is harmless or else it will be banned associated with food.

@@TheHuesSciTech TKS! Like vaseline (petrolatum).

cool story

Never used a lip balm? Vaseline is petroleum jelly :-)

@@oldfartinthenight9201 Lip balm is also delicious, I love the petrified algae flavor

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.

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 😢

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.

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.

Beeswax

perfectly safe

Made of petroleum ...

@@fjb4932 its a byproduct. Not the same.

It doesnt harm the body because its not digested by the hody

waar heb je dat vandaan, meeste bronnen noemen Edam als de plek waar de gelijknamige kaas ook vandaan komt

Could be Katwoude?

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.

Probably this is record before covid.

Plants have natural wax on the surfaces but some add wax like beeswax to prolong shell life longer

yes YOO DAA !

Aai dAm??? A-team A-dahm
