Havarti

Havarti
Havarti is a semi-soft Danish cheese known for its creamy texture and mild, buttery flavour. Developed in the mid-1800s, Havarti is traditionally made from cow’s milk and is perfect for slicing, melting, or enjoying on a cheese board.

It’s a washed-curd cheese, meaning the curds are rinsed to create a smoother, milder taste. Havarti can be enjoyed young or aged slightly for a stronger flavour, and it’s often infused with herbs or spices like dill or caraway.

Havarti melts beautifully, making it ideal for sandwiches, toasties, and cooking.
