Cheese crafted the wrong way (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edam

'cheese' is the definition.
(I know that Edam is a type of cheese)

'crafted the wrong way' is the wordplay.
'crafted' becomes 'made' (I've seen this in another clue).
'the wrong way' is a reversal indicator.
'made' backwards is 'EDAM'.

(Other definitions for edam that I've seen before include "milk product" , "Cheese made badly" , "Dutch 8 across" , "Dutch food" , "Round, yellow cheese" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
