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.

This stuff is amazing! Loved it. I cut up a baquette and dipped the peices in melted butter with garlic and baked them until crisp and let people spread the cheese on it. It was so good.
