Danbo

Danbo is a semi-hard, well-matured cheese made from milk of bovine origin produced in Denmark. It comes in two varieties: 30+ or 45+, relating to the minimum fat content in dry matter. On the exterior, it has a firm, smeared rind, while on the interior it is ivory to pale yellow, with a soft, pliable texture that slices easily.

Its flavor is mild, sweet, nutty, aromatic and slightly acidic, but when it matures for 3 to 4 weeks, the aromas and flavors become more intense. There is also a different variety of Danbo with caraway seeds added in the process, and the cheese is then called King Christian.

Danbo can be used for snacks, in sandwiches, or it can be grilled. It pairs well with dry white and velvety red wines.
