Hickory Smoked Havarti Cheese

Rich, creamy Havarti meets the deep warmth of natural hickory smoke in this indulgent specialty cheese. Castello® Hickory Smoked Havarti is crafted in the traditional Danish style, then gently cold-smoked to infuse every bite with a smooth, savory smokiness. The result is a beautifully balanced cheese that’s both refined and comforting, making it ideal for everyday enjoyment or gourmet entertaining.
