Semi-soft Danish cow’s milk cheese. It is a table cheese that can be sliced, grilled, or melted. Havarti has a buttery aroma and can be somewhat sharp in the stronger varieties, much like Swiss cheese. The taste is buttery, and from somewhat sweet to very sweet, and it is slightly acidic. It is typically aged about three months, though when the cheese is older it becomes saltier and tastes like hazelnut. When left at room temperature the cheese tends to soften quickly.
