Dofino® Creamy Havarti is our mainstay. It will surely become your favorite cheese! It comes in an 8-oz. chunk that you’ll be able to use in a million ways. Havarti Creamy is also available in slices (8 oz., 24 oz. and 32 oz.).
Did you know Havarti was invented by a woman? Back in the mid-1800s, an innovative Danish maid named Hanne Nielsen ran a dairy farm named Havartigaard. Hanne had a mind for experimentation and newfangled methods. One day she thought of washing her curds in fresh mountain water before molding, draining, and aging them. Eureka! Her cheese turned out soft and creamy with a subtle, buttery flavor – the creamy Havarti we all now love.
She named her new creation after her farm, and within a few years of her delicious discovery, Hanne set up a tidy shop in Copenhagen and delivered her cheeses and butters directly to the Danish king. Not bad for a country maid, eh?
Havarti’s soft texture makes it great for melting, so anywhere you’d use just plain old American or ho-hum cheddar, you can create a whole new flavor! (Our personal favorite – Havarti mac and cheese. Click here for the recipe!) Think like Hanne and try something new!
And our Havarti is healthy, too. Dofino® cheeses are crafted at our dairy in Hollandtown, Wisconsin, under strict quality controls – the milk from our cows is rBST-free. Arla Foods is committed to keeping our products “Closer to Nature.”
