What it is
Havarti is a semi-soft Danish cheese made from cow's milk. It is known for its smooth, creamy texture and mild, buttery flavor. The cheese is typically aged for a few months, which allows its characteristic taste to develop. It often has small, irregular holes throughout its body. This cheese is a versatile option for various culinary applications.
