Flavourings such as caraway seeds add a new dimension to the taste of Danbo. When caraway seeds are added to the cheese, Danbo is also known as “King Christian” cheese, named after King Christian IX who ruled Denmark during the late 19th and early 20th century.

Depending on low fat, medium or full fat versions, the fat percentage in Danbo can vary from 15-45%. Dry white wines, rose wines and light, velvety red wines go best with Danbo.
