Castello is a tradename for a range of cheeses produced by Arla Foods amba, an agricultural marketing cooperative based in Denmark.
Worldwide, a variety of cheeses are marketed under the Castello name, including semi-soft cheeses, semi-hard cheeses, blue cheeses, and cream cheeses.[1]
For the European market, Castello markets soft ripened cheeses called Golden and White; Organic Brie; semi-hard cheeses Herrgård and Prast; blue cheeses Black, Creamy Blue, Danablu, Danablu Gold, Organic Blue, Organic Mild; and a line of cream cheeses.[2]
For the North American market, Castello markets a camembert, a brie, and several varieties of blue cheese, named Mellow Blue Cheese, Noble Blue Cheese, Extra Creamy Blue (also available sliced), Crumbled Blue Cheese, and Traditional Blue Cheese.
In some markets, the name Blue Castello is used for a triple-cream blue cow's milk cheese.
The Tholstrup cheese company was established in 1893 by Rasmus Tholstrup of Denmark.
Castello blue cheeses were developed in the 1960s; the washed rind hosts various moulds that add to the cheese's mildly spicy flavour. It has a smooth, rich texture much like Brie.
In May, 2011, Rosenborg officially changed its name to "Rosenborg Castello".
