Wax-coated cheese (4)
I believe the answer is:
edam
'wax-coated cheese' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for edam that I've seen before include "Made into popular cheese" , "Netherlands cheese" , "Yellow cheese with a red covering" , "Mild yellow Dutch cheese" , "Dairy product" .)
