Danbo is a semi-soft cow's milk cheese from Denmark, associated with Funen. It is formed in a rectangular loaf, and the pale paste has a scattering of small round holes. A smear of ripening bacteria is encouraged on the rind, which gives a mild aroma even when the taste stays gentle. Some loaves also contain caraway seeds. Young Danbo is an everyday sandwich cheese, and an older loaf is stronger and more savory.

Havarti is a creamy semi-soft cheese from Denmark, first associated with Øverød on Zealand. It is made from cow's milk and has a supple, buttery paste with many small irregular openings. The usual flavor is mild, slightly acidic, and a little sweet. Cream-style Havarti is richer and softer than the plainer loaf. Both are sold as slicing cheeses that also melt well on warm bread.
