Castello® Extra Creamy Brie Cheese

about

It starts with the slim rind that yields to your knife like a layer of snowy ice resting on silken water. Beneath, thick and velvety, lies the cream of this white cheese, waiting for you. Let it melt in your mouth, you’ll get hints of plain yoghurt and dark chocolate. Give in to its seductive notes, savour its mild aftertaste, and enjoy the same rich afterglow you’d get from a well-marbled steak. Handcrafted in open vats using traditional methods to achieve its thin rind and unique softness throughout.

    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 IT'S 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.
  • HOW TO USE
    • Slice it and enjoy it on top of bread or crackers

  • DID YOU KNOW
    • First made in Denmark in 1944, this Extra Creamy Brie 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 Extra Creamy Brie as its own cheese type under the soft cheeses family. In Denmark our brie is called Castello Creamy White.
