Edam

Edam (mun. Edam-Volendam) is a town in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland, some 15 km northeast of Amsterdam.

Historically a chartered town, 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.
