Havarti with Herbs

Cheese Type: Semi Firm

Country: Denmark

Milk Type: Cow

Havarti with Herbs blends a mixture of herbs into the classic Danish semi-soft cheese, producing a savory, aromatic version of a familiar favorite. The herb blend typically draws on garden staples such as parsley, chives, and garlic.

Flavor Profile

The mild, buttery Havarti base carries the herbs without overwhelming them, and the herbs in turn add a green, savory depth with a gentle allium warmth. Visible flecks run throughout the paste. The overall character is fresh and garden-like, distinctly more savory than plain Havarti while remaining approachable.

How to Use

This cheese works particularly well melted, where heat releases the herb aromatics. Use it in omelets, quiches, savory tarts, and grilled sandwiches. It also makes an excellent spread when softened, and it cubes neatly for salads and antipasto platters.

Pairing Suggestions

Pair with a Sauvignon Blanc, a dry rosé, or a crisp lager. Serve with fresh vegetables, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and rustic bread.

Storage

Wrap in wax paper and store in the refrigerator crisper drawer. Best consumed within two weeks of cutting.
