  • Did you know
    • Inspired by the mildness of traditional brie and creamy, rich flavours of blue cheeses, Castello Double Cream Brie Cheese was the very first new cheese recipe invented by our founding family of Tholstrup.
    • An addition of Pink Pepper flakes into the recipe took some time to master and our talented cheesemakers based in Denmark brought this particular Pink Pepper brie recipe to life in 2020!
    • Due to its non-standard recipe and a much creamier texture than regular brie, some Scandinavian countries like to consider our Double Cream Brie as its own cheese type under the soft cheeses family.
