CASTELLO® MILD BLUE CHEESE

about

Castello Mild Blue Cheese, in its iconic half-moon shape, is a new star in our range. Created by merging the most desirable characteristics of brie and blue cheese, the high proportion of cream in the milk used for production results in a soft buttery texture and a mild taste. We believe it is milder and creamier than any blue cheese you have tried before! Castello Mild Blue is a true crowd-pleasing blue cheese and the perfect cheese for blue cheese beginners.

MORE INSPIRATION FOR HOW TO USE MILD BLUE

Indulge in the creaminess of Castello® Mild Blue and enjoy new flavour adventures with the inviting mildness of the blue mould cheese. The mild flavour is like nothing you have ever tasted, and it opens the door to endless possibilities for everyone.

Treat yourself to a heavenly bite of enticing flavours and textures with this sourdough bread with raspberry vinaigrette, kale, mild blue, and bacon. The mild blue cheese and salty bacon are balanced by bitter kale in a sweet, tangy vinaigrette. The textures also complement one another. Creamy mild blue melds perfectly with crunchy bacon, crisp kale, and toasted bread.

Or try a palatable white pizza with blue cheese. The white base is made of mild mozzarella and tangy crème fraiche, making room for the rich mild blue and fresh figs to take the stage as toppings. Toasted walnuts, fresh rocket salad, and a crispy pizza crust ensure the right balance of flavours and textures.

If you need a savoury treat to serve as an appetiser or afternoon snack, try these crostini with blue cheese and pear. Blue cheese and pear are a classic combination, and served on crisp bread with crunchy pecans and sweet honey they once again prove why.

You can also opt for cinnamon biscuits with blue cheese. It might sound like an untraditional pairing but do not miss out on the chance of trying it. The sweet, tender cinnamon biscuits make the perfect bed for the mild, buttery blue cheese. Dried cranberries add a delightful chewiness and sweet tartness, whereas crunchy pecans provide a nutty depth and elevate the overall experience.

Our mild blue cheese is also a perfect addition to salads. For example, this colourful beetroot and blue cheese salad brimming with flavours and textures. Beetroots in different colours, bright radishes, green pears, and pink raspberries make sure that the salad attracts attention, while the combination of rich, earthy, creamy, and fresh ensures that it is also a feast for your taste buds.
