Editing Edam cheese (section)

===Spain and former colonies===
In Spain and some of its former colonies, such as the Philippines and many Latin American countries, the cheese is known as ''queso de bola'' (ball cheese) and was long considered a delicacy.

In the Mexican state of [[Yucatán]], ''queso de bola'' is prepared as ''queso relleno'' ("stuffed cheese"). A ball of cheese is cut in half and carved out; it is then stuffed with a mixture of seasoned ground meat, raisins, capers, and olives. Finally, it is braised in chicken stock, and served sliced with the chicken stock that has been thickened with cornstarch and spiced tomato sauce.<ref>Queso Relleno Recipe.
