Castello® Creamy Blue Cheese

About

Castello Creamy Blue Cheese, in its iconic half-moon shape, is a true star in our portfolio. Born from trying to merge the best qualities of both brie and blue type cheeses. The high proportion of cream in the milk used for production results in a soft buttery texture and a milky taste. We like to think it’s going to taste creamier than anything you have experienced before!

Strength

4 out of 6. Bold.

Castello Creamy Blue Cheese is not too strong, yet has a complex interesting profile with a delicately sharp flavour sensation.
How Its Made

• Creatively crafted in Denmark from fresh cow's milk and cream
• The cultures are added by hand
• Each cheese is pierced in a unique star pattern to give a perfect distribution of blue mould
• 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 a more intense profile of traditional blue cheeses, this soft creamy mould cheese brings out the best of our passion and ingredients.
