Kanterkaas is a hard cheese from the Netherlands, made from cow's milk. The name uses the Dutch word for an edge, because the wheel has a sharp corner where the side meets the base. The top of the wheel is more rounded. Plain cheese tastes savory and grows sharper as it ages. Two spiced relatives sit in the same family, one with cumin and one with cumin and cloves.
