Havarti is a soft, cream-colored cows' milk cheese made in Denmark, and one of the most popular cheeses imported to the United States.
Steven Jenkins, in his book "Cheese Primer," refers to Havarti as the "least offensive cheese in the world, so simple that it would be curmudgeonly to say anything even slightly negative about it."
Jenkins has no problem saying negative things when he feels they are merited, so this is quite a recommendation for the plain, inexpensive, flavorful cheese.
Denmark is known for being a country with a huge factory dairy industry. It has a land mass less than half the size of Indiana, but Denmark contains, according to the Danish Agriculture and Food Council, 61 production dairy plants that process more than one billion gallons of milk a year, much of it made into cheese.
