About Blå (Blue) Castello cheese

Blå (Blue) Castello is a rich, soft, blue, pasteurised cows’ milk cheese which has been enriched with cream and is shaped like a half-moon.

The cheese is inoculated with white and blue moulds in the form of fairly thick horizontal lines and is allowed to mature for up to 3 weeks. It is very mild when young, but has a sharper bite as it matures.

Blå Castello has a bloomy, natural rind which turns reddish-brown with age. It is a perfect cheese for those not accustomed to the stronger blue cheeses.
