About Castello
Castello makes speciality cheeses including blue, brie and cream cheeses, founded in Denmark in 1893. It is Arla's premium cheese brand and is sold across Europe, North America and Asia. Danish blue cheese was developed in the early twentieth century as a domestic alternative to Roquefort, and Castello is the largest brand to come out of that tradition.
