annie, in the future, get a couple of small wheels, completely covered in the wax...
It lasts forever that way... until you break the wax seal...
It really is tasty cheese isn't it?
try it sliced on slices of apple, peaches, melons or apricots... yummmm....
Edammer (or Edam in the US) is another Dutch Cheese that is also very tasty! similar to gouda, but lighter in flavor...
