Havarti cheese is a traditional Danish cheese known for its creamy, semi-soft texture and mild flavor. It is produced in line with specific production techniques and has an official EU Protected Geographical Indication status. Havarti cheese is lusciously smooth, balanced, and mild enough to suit all palates. As it ages, it becomes slightly harder and develops a curious crunch from protein crystals.
Castello was founded in 1893 by master cheesemaker Rasmus Tholstrup. By nature, he was a restless explorer and never content with the ordinary, especially when it came to setting new standards in cheesemaking. Castello cheeses are still crafted using both the best of traditional techniques and the relentless pursuit of discovery. Our artisan cheesemakers are not afraid to experiment until they’ve perfected a recipe with a unique twist and delightful new flavor, adding to the distinctiveness of the Castello portfolio.
