| Roth Käse Havarti with Dill is a semi-soft, creamy, buttery cow's milk cheese produced in Monroe, Wisconsin. It uses pasteurized, rBST-free milk from local dairy farms and microbial rennet, making it vegetarian-friendly. The cheese features lactic sweetness balanced by savory dill and has a mild acidic finish with an elastic, open texture due to washed curd processing and 45-55% moisture. Aged typically 2-3 months, it is rindless and highly meltable. While "Havarti" holds Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in the EU, it is generic in the U.S. Spoilage signs include pink defect, unwanted molds, sliminess, or ammonia odors. | |
