Edam cheese keeps best when stored properly to maintain its flavor and texture. Wrap the cheese tightly in wax paper or cheese paper, then place it in a resealable plastic bag or container. Store it in the refrigerator's cheese drawer or a similar cool, dark place. Avoid storing it near strong-smelling foods as it can absorb odors. Properly stored, Edam can last for several weeks in the refrigerator.
