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.
Unfortunately the product i received was completely ‘off’ so i couldnt try it. It was recommended by a colleague though so I will be buying one to try in the future.

The best camembert (or brie?) I have ever tasted.
It’s soooo rich and full flavoured. … Totally moorish.
… the BEST ! If I could give 7 stars I would.
I’m not generally a fan of camembert… but this will be a MUST on any cheese board I serve.
I have looked for it in the supermarket… but not seen it… maybe always sold out?

Amazing rich, deep taste. Wonderful gooey texture.

Lovely but didn’t like the rind

Amazing. If you’ve tried and liked Saint Agur cheese in the past, this tastes similar but better!
