Hickory Smoked Havarti Cheese

Castello® Hickory Smoked Havarti brings together the rich creaminess of traditional Danish Havarti with the deep warmth of natural hickory smoke. Cold smoked to preserve its soft, buttery character; this cheese offers a beautifully balanced flavor—mild and creamy at first, then unfolding into smooth, savory smokiness with subtle caramel like undertones and a gentle tang that brightens each bite. Its soft, creamy texture melts effortlessly in your mouth, making it as comforting as it is refined. Whether enjoyed on a cheeseboard, melted into warm dishes or layered into a favorite sandwich, Castello® Hickory Smoked Havarti adds a mellow, smoky richness that elevates everyday moments and gourmet occasions alike.

FAQ

  • Did you know

    The Danish tradition of Havarti making dates back to the mid-1800s, but smoking cheese over wood fires is even older. By marrying the two, Castello has created a cheese that’s both rooted in heritage and distinctly modern in flavor.
