Located in: Cheese, Denmark

This brie-like blue cheese from Denmark is made by Tholstrup, the same company that makes Saga Blue at its factory in the United States. Blue Castello is richer than Saga Blue and is made only in Denmark. Castello is a distant derivative of Italian Gorgonzola but has a higher fat content and a milder flavor. It is a perfect blue for those who like a little blue flavor without being blown away.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
Photo depicts whole 2 lb. half moon of cheese.
We cut and wrap this item by the pound.
Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form. (Currently the whole forms come in 1.8 lb. half moons).

Comments about Blue Castello - Pound Cut:

If you like Blue cheese, this is the only product I have found that provides the softness to spread easily on crackers or pretzels. The taste is not overwhelming but flavorful enough to be distinctive and very satisfying as an cocktail Hors d'oeuvre. Delicious!

Comments about Blue Castello - Pound Cut:

Get this cheese to room temp before eating. You will be rewarded with a sumptuous, creamy cheese with subtle blue cheese taste. We eat this with roasted, unsalted almonds and with Montreal style bagels and even on it's own! A+++++ I can't get it locally, so I'm thrilled to get it on igourmet.com Beware, it'll be the first cheese to disappear off your cheese platter!

Comments about Blue Castello - Pound Cut:

If you like a mild blue cheese flavor and one soft enough to spread on crackers, this is the best. Great for a snack at the cocktail hour.

It is also useful to garnish a hamburger.

Comments about Blue Castello - Pound Cut:

This is one of my very favorite cheeses. I always try to have some on hand. I don't share this cheese with others well. My mother makes an awesome cheese ball with it that just melts in your mouth. Thus, she is the only person I will happily share with! This cheese can be frozen if, by some miracle, you don't eat it all immediately. Fabulous in fresh bread as a luxurious sandwich. Best after dinner when you want to be mellow and feel pampered.
