1841 Havarti gets its name from the year that Highland Farm (now home to Calkins Creamery) was established in Wayne County, Pennsylvania. This milky, creamy cheese is light and mild with a semi-firm texture and just a touch of tang. It’s perfect for sandwiches, super kid friendly, and udderly delicious! The wheels are dipped in bright yellow cheese wax before being aged for 2-3 months.
Pairing notes: lagers, IPA's, light white wines like Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadet, light red wines like Pinot Noir.
I got the block for a family get together on Labor Day. By the time I went outside with a different platter of hors d’oevres, it was more than half gone. I have not had cheese disappear that quickly.
