Where to Buy Havarti in NZ
In store
Sometimes you want the cheese in your hand today, not tomorrow. Over a counter you also get to see the piece before you pay for it.
Look in the chilled deli cabinet rather than the block cheese wall. Our retail pack is 200 g, so it is a small, flat thing, and it can sit lower in the case than you expect. Ask for Danish havarti by name. The person behind the counter will know what came in that week.
For where to go, start with Where to Buy Gouda in NZ. Our stockists are listed there. If the trip is across town, ring ahead and ask whether they have it in the cabinet that day, because stock moves.
A deli counter is a good place to buy cheese for the week ahead, not just for a board you are putting together on a Friday. Buy it the way you buy milk or bread.
Online
Ordering online takes the guesswork out of the trip. You add it to your basket and it comes to you, wherever you are in the country, because we deliver nationwide.
The page you want is Danish Havarti. What the pack is, how it is sold and what it costs all sit there, so you are not guessing.
The pack is 200 g, which is an easy amount to work through in a week of lunches and after-work snacking. If you are ordering other cheese at the same time, it can all travel together. There is no trip, no parking, and no wondering whether the cabinet will have it when you get there.
What freshly cut actually means
Freshly cut gets used loosely, so here is what it means when we say it.
We bring our cheese into New Zealand as whole wheels, cut it here and send it out from here. The cutting and packing happens in Auckland. A wheel arrives whole, rind on. It is not portioned before it travels. It gets opened here, cut here and wrapped here, and that is the pack that reaches you.
So, the shortest way to say it: the cheese crosses the world as a wheel and becomes a pack once it has arrived. Nothing about that is complicated. It is an order of operations, and it is the reason we talk about cutting at all. It is also the part of the job we actually do ourselves, which is why you keep hearing about it from us.
If you are a cafe or a deli
Kitchens buy differently. A 200 g pack is built for a fridge at home, not for a lunch rush.
If you are portioning for toasties, boards or a sandwich cabinet, the conversation starts at Wholesale Gouda for NZ Foodservice. Tell us what you go through in a week and what format suits your prep. Same wheels, same cutting here, sized for a kitchen instead.
