Cheese produced in reverse? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edam

'cheese' is the definition.
(Edam is an example)

'produced in reverse?' is the wordplay.
'produced' becomes 'made' ('make' can be a synonym of 'produce').
'in reverse?' says the letters should be written backwards (I've seen 'in reverse' mean this).
'made' written backwards gives 'EDAM'.

(Other definitions for edam that I've seen before include "Dairy product" , "Sphere of Dutch cheese" , "Made into popular cheese" , "something to have with crackers" , "Netherlands cheese" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
