HAVARTI FACT OF THE DAY...

Traditional Havarti was originally made in small quantities, often on the farm or small dairy, and had a fuller, deeper flavour. The traditional version originated in Denmark in the mid-1800s, when Hanne Nielsen, a farmer, decided to travel around Europe in order to learn the art of cheesemaking. Once back at her own farm at Havarthigaard, north of Copenhagen, she produced a cheese that she named after the farm, giving rise to Havarti.
