Havarti is a semi-soft Danish cow's milk cheese<\/a> known for its buttery flavor and creamy texture. Originally developed in the 1860s by Hanne Nielsen, havarti has become popular worldwide, particularly in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Havarti cheese originated in Denmark in the 1860s, created by a pioneering woman named Hanne Nielsen.<\/strong> After traveling across Europe to learn cheesemaking techniques, Nielsen returned to her farm, Havarthigaard, in North Zealand where she experimented with new recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By washing the curds in fresh spring water before pressing, Nielsen developed a new semi-soft cheese that was creamier than traditional Danish cheeses.<\/strong> She named her new creation \"havarti\" after her farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within years, havarti became popular and Nielsen was supplying the royal Danish family as well as selling it in shops in Copenhagen. The cheese<\/a> was originally called \"Danish Tilsit\" referencing the German town where a similar cheese was first developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1950s, the name was officially changed to havarti to honor Nielsen's original recipe.<\/strong> While production was centered in Denmark for years, today havarti is made around the world, including by many cheesemakers in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
