Leerdammer is a Dutch semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk. It has an aging time of around 3-12 months.It has a creamy white texture and was made to be similar in appearance and flavor to Emmental, but it is rounder in taste. It has a sweet and somewhat nutty flavour that becomes more pronounced with age. It also has distinct holes in it. In a past advertisement campaign this was made use in claiming jokingly that "the taste is around the holes".

The Leerdammer name is trademarked; the cheese is produced exclusively by le Groupe Bel. Leerdammer cheese is produced in Schoonrewoerd in the municipality of Leerdam, the city which gave Leerdammer its name. The cheese's development was begun in 1976, and it was first introduced to market in 1984. Generic Leerdammer style cheese is sold as Maasdam cheese.
