About Castello
Castello is a prestigious Danish cheese brand established in 1893 by Rasmus Tholstrup, now part of Arla Foods - the Danish-Swedish dairy co-operative. The brand is renowned for producing over 40 varieties of premium artisanal-style cheeses spanning blue mould, white mould, semi-hard, fresh, goat, and hard cheese categories. The brand's signature product is Castello Danish Blue, which holds PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status meaning it can only be produced in Denmark following strictly controlled methods. This cheese features a fine, nutty blue mould aroma with hints of marzipan and a soft bitterness of sourdough, making it perfect for cooking and snacking. In 2024, Castello expanded with Whipped Dips featuring airy, fluffy textures in flavours like Garlic & Herbs, Cracked Pepper, and Paprika & Chili - all crafted without preservatives for clean-label indulgence. The brand continues to innovate whilst maintaining the quality craftsmanship that has defined Danish cheesemaking for over 130 years. UK shoppers can find Castello cheese at major supermarkets including Sainsbury's, distributed by Arla Foods from their UK base in Leeds.
