Dutch ball fluffed, a Mexican nets (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edam

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dutch ball' is the definition.
(edam is a dutch ball-shaped cheese)

'fluffed a mexican nets' is the wordplay.
'EDAM' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edam that I've seen before include "Dutch food" , "Danish cheese" , "Made into a nice cheese" , "Dutch specialty" , "Hard Dutch cheese" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
