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.
YUM! I loved the creamy texture, and the flavour was perfect. It also looks gorgeous, so is perfect for a platter. Will be getting this regularly in future.
Got to try this cheese at the food show and it was truly an exquisite cheese. Apparently also a blue cheese type, though it doesn’t look it. It has that typical taste but not as strong and penetrating as some blue cheeses. Also very creamy like a Brie. I found it at my local New World today, and can’t wait to have some with a yummy piece of sourdough tomorrow. PS definitively worth the price, but will be for special occasions.

Lovelt texture, too strong and pungent flavour for my liking

Amazing soft texture and taste. Perfect for the cheeseboard and pair it with some crackers and a glass of bubbly for after meal snacking.

Totally yum cheese – creamy and more-ish. Love it on a cracker with a little smear of relish – mmm

One of the best soft cheeses out there. It’s like the best bleu.

Very nice smooth cheese with good packaging so it lasts longer when opened.
