cream Havarti
Hanne Nielsen toured dairies across Europe in the mid nineteenth century and brought the techniques back to Havartigaarden, her farm near Holte north of Copenhagen. The cheese was only given the name Havarti in 1952, long after her death. The English phrase is a half translation of Danish flodehavarti, flode meaning cream.
