Frequently Asked Questions About Leerdammer Extra Mild
What kind of cheese is Leerdammer Extra Mild?
Leerdammer Extra Mild is a mild, creamy Dutch cheese. It is classified as processed on this page; that classification alone does not mean it is the same as a processed cheese slice.
Where does Leerdammer Extra Mild come from?

Why does Leerdammer Extra Mild have holes?
The holes in Leerdammer Extra Mild form when gas produced during cheese maturation creates bubbles in the cheese. This open texture is a familiar feature of Maasdam-style cheeses.
How does Leerdammer Extra Mild differ from regular Leerdammer?

Yes, Leerdammer Extra Mild melts well in toasties and other hot dishes. Its mild flavor pairs easily with bread and fillings; use fairly thin slices for more even melting.
Does Leerdammer Extra Mild contain lactose?

How should you store Leerdammer Extra Mild after opening?

Can you freeze Leerdammer Extra Mild?

What can you cook with Leerdammer Extra Mild besides sandwiches?
