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.
This cheese was a perfect addition to my cheese platter. It had a strong flavour that complimented the cheese board selection. Yummy on a piece of crusty French stick

A cheese I’ve been meaning to try for a while. I liked the flavour in small doses but found it quite a strong cheese.

A little too rich for me (something I will have only every now and then), but really interesting, different flavour.
