Havarti (huh- var- tee)
Never underestimate Havarti. Light to pale yellow in color, smooth and buttery on the surface, Havarti has a hidden intensity that makes it a favorite for both entertaining and cooking.
Try Havarti shredded over salads, sliced in sandwiches, or paired with roasted red peppers and olives. For a twist, pick up one of the many popular flavored varieties of Havarti - like garlic and herb, jalapeno, dill or caraway.
Did You Know
American-made Havarti can trace its roots to the Havarti farm in Denmark. In the mid 1800's, a Danish farmer's wife set out on a worldwide expedition to learn the finer points of cheesemaking. Her education culminated with a delectable new addition to the world of cheese.

I think I could live on cheese and crackers if I had to.

(53,339 posts)I love Swiss and Gouda and use fresh Parmesan on my garlic bread. Recently got into Provolone after having the Dominos Philly Steak Sandwich. And I can't help being drawn to the smoked cheeses at my local supermarket.
Not so much into the smelly and runny cheeses. But who knows? I may try anything if they keep calling me an unpatriotic, unAmerican commie.

(39,343 posts)It cannot legally even be called "cheese" but is a "processed cheese product".
It's as much a cheese as the stuff that comes in a can (which I have been known to eat)

(9,992 posts)As in "processed cheese FOOD product"?
I've always wondered why both "cheese" and "food" are necessary. Is cheese not food? Though perhaps "processed cheese product" could also be used to caulk your bathroom hence the need to direct people to eat it rather than make home improvements therewith.
