This purchase was a little out of character for us since we generally do not buy anything exotic at ALDI. I cannot say we’ve ever heard of Havarti cheese. However, we’d been talking about making our own macaroni and cheese for a while and when we were going through the ALDI cooler section, we noticed the Antoinette Creamy Havarti cheese. We bought a block and were very impressed. Havarti is a soft and creamy cheese with the consistency of a Mozzarella. We used a few slices for grilled cheeses and then saved about 2/3 of the block for our homemade macaroni and cheese recipe. We mixed the Havarti with Parmesan and Colby for our macaroni and cheese. The flavor and quality of this cheese was exceptional. The creaminess was perfect for the recipe. I will admit I’ve never purchased a name brand of Havarti type cheese or tasted it, but may not need to considering ALDI’s quality. This product is a prime example of why ALDI is a great store. You’ll never find everything you need at ALDI, but you’ll find a number of great opportunities to buy food you wouldn’t expect. For example, chicken sausage, Italian olive oil, and Danish cheese. We have bought exotic cheeses before at another store in town for a lot more money. ALDI has great deals for less money.
