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.
Had never been inclined to purchase “boxed” cheese as I prefer mild cheeses and assumed it would have too strong a flavour for my palate. What a surpise! It is a smooth texture with notes of creamy blue and mild hibt of ripe brie. Loved it and friends raved how they always purchase it so it looks like its going to be a regular when entertaining now.
