Denmark! Today, we will highlight cheeses from Denmark, the only country with a "D" beginning its name.
First up: Saga
Saga is a soft cheese, from cow's milk. It is like brie and blue cheese combined. Great for desserts as well as with wine (if you are of the age). It can also now be found in America.
Second: Havarti
Havarti is more commonly known. It is a semi-soft cheese, from cow milk.It is named for the farm in Denmark that originally created it. A very simple flavor, buttery and sweet, a slight hazelnut flavor if it is aged longer.
Finally: Esrom
Esrom is a semi-hard cheese with a mild flavor and buttery texture, getting sharper with age. It is made from cow milk. Often times, seasonings are added to enhance and complicate the flavor.
