Make a delicious snack platter featuring roasted grapes and crackers. A sophisticated ensemble of sweet and savoury, creamy and crunchy ensures that you are in for an unforgettable eating experience. Enjoy a sweet and slightly caramelised treat of oven-baked grapes with olive oil, sea salt, and sage complemented by the crunch of your preferred crackers and a serving of honey caramelised nuts. The snack platter is completed by our very own Castello® Extra Creamy Brie contributing luxurious creaminess and a soft texture.

You can also enjoy Castello® Extra Creamy Brie as part of a cheese board with fresh berries and rhubarb compote. The soft and creamy brie texture is balanced by crackers and crunchy salted pistachios and its rich flavour gets a fresh counterpart in the shape of raspberries and strawberries. Lastly, make an easy rhubarb compote with vanilla to serve on the cheese board as well.

Incorporate brie into our cooking by making a delicious pinsa with mascarpone, tomatoes, and olives. The pizza-like Italian flatbread has a soft and airy texture, which goes perfectly with soft mascarpone and extra creamy brie. To balance the softness and creaminess, we add sweet, roasted cherry tomatoes and salty black olives. Fresh rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper add the final touch before serving.

The brie is arranged in baked puff pastry along with a warm fruit compote and walnuts, so if you need a recipe for finger food or appetisers, you can use this one and just leave out the avocado sandwich.

Turn breakfast or lunch extraordinary with a luxurious brie sandwich with serrano and apricot. Castello® Extra Creamy Brie, flavourful serrano ham, and sweet apricot are layered on toasted and buttered sourdough bread, creating a flavourful and satisfying sandwich. It is garnished with fresh thyme, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to make all flavour nuances stand out. Despite its exceptional flavours, you can prepare it in only five minutes, making it perfect for a busy lunch or weekday morning when you need a little extra.
