Castello® Double Cream Brie Cheese

about

Inspired by the mildness of traditional brie and creamy and rich flavours of blue cheeses, Castel-lo Double Cream Brie Cheese was the first new cheese recipe invented by our founding family of Tholstrup. A slim rind yields easily to your knife, revealing a thick and velvety centre. Let this cheese melt in your mouth and you’ll get hints of natural yoghurt and dark chocolate. Then savour the mild aftertaste and enjoy the same rich afterglow you’d get from a well-marbled steak.  AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.

2 out of 6. Mild.

It is relatively mild and appreciated by many cheese lovers. But it's not your usual brie and has a much more complex flavour profile.
How its made

• Creatively crafted in Denmark from fresh cow's milk and cream
• Cheese curds are made according to traditional methods in large open vats
• The cultures are added by hand
• Each cheese batch is also cut by hand when the cheesemaker decides it has reached the right state of firmness to inspect if the cheese is ready for packaging
• Each cheese is inspected for quality before going into a pack

Inspired by our desire to bring together the mild and delicate nature of a brie and the more creamy cheese profiles, this soft creamy mould cheese brings out the best of our passion and ingredients.

Did you know

• First made in Denmark in 1944, this Double Cream Brie Cheese is the first cheese crafted by our founding family of Tholstrup. So it's kind of special!
• Due to its non-standard recipe and a much creamier texture than regular brie, some Scandinavian countries like to consider our Double Cream Brie Cheese as its own cheese type under the soft cheeses family. In Denmark our brie is called Castello Creamy White.
