Edam

Eidam is a cheese whose histamine content varies depending on the length of ripening. While young, short-ripened edamame is mostly low-histamine and well-tolerated, with the increasing months of maturation, biogenic amines accumulate in it due to bacterial activity, which makes long-ripened varieties a riskier food. In case of histamine intolerance, it is therefore crucial to choose the freshest package possible, avoid cheeses with an approaching expiration date and prefer variants that have not undergone a long aging process.
