Queso de bola, also known as Edam cheese, is one of the most important emblems of Yucatecan gastronomy. Although its origin is not Mexican, it arrived in Yucatán during the Porfiriato era via Dutch ships carrying henequen, known as "green gold". It is interesting to see how such a classic product in the region's cuisine has such a peculiar history.
