A clerk at my neighborhood German deli tells em that they refer to what
is labelled "Tilsiter" or "Havarti" as butter cheese. They offer what
they call "mild" and "sharp" versions, neither of which is truly sharp.
I alway tell them to give me the one with the highest fat content
(which they call "mild), and I do find it very buttery. I like it on a
small roll with jagdwurst (a mild bologna-like wurst) and sweet/mild
German mustard (Lowensenf's).

After reading the OP I went to my local German Deli and they no longer carry
it and I was told the same basically. Havarti.

I already know what havarti is like. I wanted Butter cheese.
