Dame mad for cheese (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edam

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

'dame mad' is the wordplay.
'mad' is an anagram indicator.
'dame' anagrammed gives 'EDAM'.

(Other definitions for edam that I've seen before include "Hard Dutch cheese" , "Dutch specialty" , "edible sphere" , "Dairy product" , "Sphere of Dutch cheese" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
