Maasdam is a semi-hard cow cheese made like Gouda, with a washed curd, but with propionic bacteria added to the milk. After brining it spends about three weeks in a warm room, where the propionic bacteria turn lactate into propionate and carbon dioxide, which opens large round eyes and gives a sweet, nutty taste. It then ripens in the cold. Made in 6 steps over 6 months – 6.6 months. The longest step, ripen in the cold, takes up to 4.9 months (Panthi R.R. 2018) and runs at 2–4 °C (Panthi R.R. 2018). Lactococcus lactis and Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceAmounts are from one pilot make in Ireland, 380 kg of milk per vat, reported in a 2018 PhD thesis. Maasdam has no public standard, so they show one tested method, not a fixed recipe.

What makes this one different
Maasdam is made like Gouda, with a washed curd, but propionic bacteria are added and the cheese spends weeks in a warm room, as Emmental does. That warm stage opens large round eyes and gives a sweet, nutty taste, so it sits between Gouda and Emmental.
Milk
Pasteurised cow milk, standardised for fat and protein
Ripening
About 10 days cool, 3 weeks in a warm room, then cold storage up to 150 days in one make
LeerdammerA branded cheese of the same style, launched by Baars Kaas in 1974.
Safety
The milk is pasteurised in the studied makes. Clostridium spores can germinate in the warm room and make butyric acid, which spoils the cheese. Removing spores by centrifuging the milk lowered their share and the butyric acid in one study.
Hazards the sources name: Clostridium spores, which can cause butyric late blowing (a spoilage defect).
Leerdammer was developed at the dairy research institute NIZO in Ede and put on the market by Baars Kaas in 1974 as a cross between Gouda and Emmental.
