Leyden Cheese is the cheese for you if you like cumin seeds, because one or the other is always mixed into the curd. This authentic cheese is in The Netherlands known as 'Leidse kaas' (cheese from the city of Leiden). The cheese is made in flat wheels of varying sizes and carries the city's symbol of two crossed keys. It has a natural yellow rind which may be waxed or be rubbed with annatto to give a deep orange-red color. The paste is similar to Gouda cheese but scattered with seeds. It smells and tastes strongly of cumin or caraway, intensifying as it matures.
