Fynbo is a semi-hard cow's milk cheese from Funen, in Denmark. The name comes from Fyn, the Danish name of that island. Wheels are round and fairly flat, with a natural rind and a pale yellow paste. Small holes are scattered through the interior, and the texture is firm enough to slice yet still supple. The taste is mild, slightly sweet, and buttery, with a light tang rather than a strong aroma.

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.
