Cheese some sent back from a delicatessen (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edam

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

'some sent back from a delicatessen' is the wordplay.
'sent back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'made' can be found hidden inside 'from a delicatessen'.
'made' back-to-front is 'EDAM'.

(Other definitions for edam that I've seen before include "Hard Dutch cheese" , "Cheese made badly" , "Round, yellow cheese" , "Dutch market town famous for its cheese" , "Spherical cheese" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
