Havarti Cheese is a milder version of Tilsit Cheese.

It is a rindless, semi-firm cheese made from cow’s milk. The cheese is a pale yellow colour with tiny holes. It is very pliable, almost rubbery.

It’s aged for at least three months. At this stage, it has a buttery flavour with a bit of a tang. Like all cheese, if it is aged longer, the taste gets sharper.

The standard version is plain; there are flavoured American versions (such as caraway, dill, peppers.)

Cooking Tips

Melts well. It’s very popular on sandwiches because it is easy to slice.

Equivalents

1 slice = 1 oz = 30g

History Notes

Invented in the 1800s in North Zealand, Denmark by a woman named Hanne Nielsen. She named it after her farm, which was called “Havarthi”.

‘We all have hometown appetites. Every other person is a bundle of longing for the simplicities of good taste once enjoyed on the farm or in the hometown [he or she] left behind.’ — Clementine Paddleford (American food writer. 27 September 1898 – 13 November 1967)
