The orange cheese is a dutch edammer colored with carrot juice and called commission cheese.
These was done by the cheese factory to show that this cheese was tax free and only for the farmers who delivered the milk for the cheese. It was a kind of payment in nature for them. I don't know of it is practiced today but some of my colleagues knew it from their years as children on the farm. Now you can buy it in specialized cheese shops.
Fascinating. Does the carrot juice have any effect on the flavour?

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI don't really taste a difference. The only thing is that the cheese is older then a normal edammer and therefore sharper and harder then normal.
"their years as children" translates as childhood.
