Havarti

Blues, cheddars and related goudas and havartis play a big part but there’s still room for newcomers like the Italian Defendi Cremosa (creamy gorgonzola-style) and there are even more English varieties springing up.

In less than a minute, you can get one of Mets fan Josh Capon’s famous pressed sandwiches, including his sourdough grilled cheese, broccoli rabe with havarti, or bacon and tomato marmalade.

And you can’t go wrong with the griddled cheese sandwich made with havarti, muenster, and cheddar on sourdough.
