How to eat this kind of cheese I have seen so many of these cheeses but I don't know how to cook or eat them.

I am new to Europe, and have never seen this in my country of origin before.

Could you tell me how to cook the cheeses? Is it just a matter of cutting and eating?



By looking around, it sounds like this is called Gouda Cheese (but I am not sure)
Whatever you do, don't eat the wax rind. 

You may think this goes without saying, but the number of times I've seen people unfamiliar with a wax-coated cheese slice and eat with the wax still attached might surprise you.
