Welcome to a worldwide favourite. Castello Danish Blue Cheese has a fine, nutty, blue mould aroma with hints of marzipan and a soft bitterness of sourdough, making it a favourite for cooking and snacking. Castello Danish Blue cheese has blue mould veins. It was inspired by Roquefort cheese but made using homogenized cow's milk, which contributes to its strong ‘bite’.
