Our Story

CASTELLO® was founded in 1893 by our master cheese-maker Rasmus Tholstrup. He was in his nature a restless explorer when it came to cheese, a man who was never content with the ordinary. CASTELLO® cheeses have always been crafted using the best of traditional techniques and a good deal of ‘pioneering spirit’. Our cheese-makers always experiment until hitting on a recipe with unique twists and delightful new flavors, giving the CASTELLO® collection its distinctiveness. Exploring CASTELLO® today you will find dozens of cheese varieties, intriguing flavors & unusual shapes. Each cheese has its own story to tell, and all offer their own exceptional flavor and texture sensations to enjoy. Whether it’s a crumbly and nutty bite of cheddar you are looking for, or a creamy yet sharp piece of blue cheese to finish off that pizza recipe, there’s a CASTELLO® flavor sensation for you to delight in.
