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.
We love Castello Blue so we had a platter with the Blue and Castello Marquis … no surprise we loved it, unfortunately so did our teenagers!! Now we need to compete with them !

Looks and tastes fantastic on a cheeseboard. A must try!!
I often joke that I’m a cheeseatarian…..I think this may just have confirmed that a cheeseatarian is JUST what I was born to be! My goodness……I love the normal Castello half rounds of cheese but this….it was love at first sight!

Such a beautiful, creamy cheese. The slight fruity notes add a very tasty touch.

Our new favourite cheese! Great depth of flavour and smooth and creamy, our only complaint is we can’t find it in our local supermarket.
