Red Rind Cheese
Red Rind Cheese
Castello® Red Rind Cheese is a truly distinctive creation that brings together a milky, buttery flavour with subtle notes of tropical fruit and green pepper. These unique characteristics come from the natural red smear on the rind and the albino blue mould that develops inside the cheese. As it matures, the flavour of the red smear becomes slightly sharper and the cheese gains even more character, resulting in an intense and piquant taste that stands out among specialty cheeses. The texture is soft and creamy, with the signature albino blue mould running through the interior and a thin layer of red smear on the outside. It crumbles gently when pressed, yet melts smoothly in the mouth, offering a rich and satisfying experience from the first bite to the last. Castello® Red Rind Cheese showcases the best qualities of its unique mould culture, creating a sophisticated flavour profile that is both bold and beautifully balanced. This cheese is available exclusively in Australia.
