A milky and buttery taste with notes of tropical fruit and green peppers which is derived from the natural, red smear on the rind and the albino blue mould inside. As Marquis matures, the taste and flavour of the read smear become slightly sharper, while the cheese itself gets more character. Castello Marquis is a truly special cheese. Its taste and flavour are intense and piquant. Thanks to the unique production method, the mould culture develops from the inside of the cheese, whereas the red smear does so from the outside. Its consistency is creamy.
Sorry, I spent a good part of one morning trying to find the smell thinking it was a dead rat in my wall. I think you have to be a person that enjoys incredibly stinky cheese to be able to try this.
