Do you have questions when shopping for cheese? Ask the cheesemonger! A cheesemonger specializes in the buying and selling of high-quality cheese, usually available in the specialty section of a grocery store or cheese shop. Knowledgeable and passionate, a cheesemonger is a go-to resource for cheese varieties and pairings, proper cheese storage and handling, its cooking applications and cheese brand information.

Havarti was first made popular in Denmark. Many cheesemakers in Wisconsin produce a cheese similar to its Danish cousin. The Center for Dairy Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed a Wisconsin-style havarti that is more firm and buttery than other types.
