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.
Really creamy and yummy alternative for those of you who usually go for brie or camembert – it has much more flavour and is great with some fruit paste. Definitely going on our list of favourites for bbq this summer!

Despite not being a fan (actually hating) of blue cheeses Castello nails it (i put it down to creamy texture and taste)
