Storage Tips
Havarti should be stored properly to maintain its creamy texture and flavor. Wrap the cheese tightly in plastic wrap or beeswax wrap, then place it in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. Store it in the refrigerator's cheese drawer or the warmest part of the fridge, where the temperature is most consistent, ideally between 35-45°F (2-7°C). Properly stored havarti can last for several weeks in the refrigerator. Freezing is not recommended as it can significantly alter the cheese's texture.
