Cheese that's 'made' backward (4)
I believe the answer is:
edam
'cheese that's made backward' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for edam that I've seen before include "Cheese made badly" , "something from the deli" , "Mild yellow Dutch cheese" , "Dairy product" , "Sphere of Dutch cheese" .)
