The Soirée

Nothing brings out the smiles and laughter better than Castello® cheese. Whether it's cocktail hour or pre-dinner nibblies for your guests, this crowd pleaser never disappoints.

Castello® Double Crème White

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, 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.

Castello® Traditional Danish Blue

First manufactured in 1927, this is the acknowledged classic, full-strength Blue Cheese. It differs from other cheeses primarily because it is made using homogenized milk in the cheese-making process which causes the taste to stand out. The taste is sharply piquant and slightly salty, which we refer to as the blue "bite".

Castello® Aged Havarti

Made from traditional cheese methods with the addition of a special culture, the Castello® Aged Havarti is then matured for 12 months.

During the long maturation the crumbly but creamy texture and a rich, buttery taste with tangy notes is created. As it ripens the cheese also starts to develop small crystals for a richer taste experience.
