Edam

Edam (mun. Edam-Volendam) is a town in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland, some 20 km northeast of Amsterdam.

Historically a chartered town since 1357, thriving on trade and agriculture, it has nevertheless remained relatively small. The town has nowadays grown together with neighbouring Volendam. Its main claim to international fame is Edam cheese.
