Holland Corona is a traditional brand specializing in Dutch cheeses, particularly Edam and Gouda. Edam cheese originated in the Netherlands and is named after the town of Edam in North Holland. It is traditionally sold in rounded spheres with a red paraffin wax coating, though this sliced version is prepared for modern convenience retail.

Manufacturing primarily takes place in the Netherlands to maintain the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status of 'Holland Edam'. The brand is managed by Millán Vicente, a prominent Spanish cheese company founded in the mid-20th century. Millán Vicente was acquired by the Dutch dairy powerhouse FrieslandCampina in late 2018, which now oversees the production, brand management, and international distribution of its portfolio through its Spanish subsidiary based in Zaragoza.
