I love cheese. Prepared every which way. I’ve now tried four different kinds of cheese from Castello and their products “wow” me every time. I’m fully committed to trying every one of their cheeses. They’re that good.
Today we’re using their Creamy Havarti. It has a delicious buttery aroma with just the right hint of sweetness and touch of tanginess. It’s creamy texture lends itself perfectly for melting, especially when shredded.
All of these qualities made it the perfect candidate for these corn cakes.
The sweetness of the corn combined with the creamy cheese, savory dill, and dollop of tangy creme fraiche will have you and your guests reaching for more.
