Castello® Aged Havarti Cheese

about

Castello Aged Havarti Cheese is crafted using a traditional recipe dating back to 1952 and aged for 12 months. When aging, Castello Havarti slowly forms salty crystals that provide the finished product with a pleasant crunch while the softness of the cheese thickens and becomes crumbly. The aging process results in a smooth texture and a bold, creamy and caramel flavor that is sweet with a sharp finish.
