Creamy White Cheese

From the very first bite, this iconic cheese makes an impression, and it has since its inception many years ago. Inspired by the mildness of traditional brie and the creamy, rich flavours of blue cheeses, Castello® Creamy White was the first new cheese recipe developed by our founding family, the Tholstrups, and its legacy survives today. A slim rind yields easily to your knife, revealing a thick and velvety centre, but its indulgence doesn't stop there. Let the cheese melt slowly in your mouth and discover delicate hints of natural yoghurt and dark chocolate in a distinct flavour profile which softly lingers, leaving behind the same rich afterglow you might recognise from a beautifully marbled steak.

FAQ: Questions about Castello® Creamy White

This cheese may surprise you in more ways than one. Below you will find answers to some of the most common questions about Castello® Creamy White, from its flavour and texture to how to store it properly.

  • What does Castello® Creamy White taste like?

    Castello® Creamy White has a milky, rich flavour with subtle buttery notes. Alongside the creamy taste, you will notice earthy hints reminiscent of elderflower and walnut which give the cheese a delicate aromatic quality. The texture is soft and smooth, allowing the flavours to unfold gradually on the palate. The combination of milky freshness, mild earthiness, and buttery richness makes the creamy cheese both refined and indulgent.

  • How should I store Castello® Creamy White?

    Store Castello® Creamy White in the fridge, preferably in its original packaging or wrapped loosely in wax paper or baking paper. This helps the cheese breathe while preventing it from drying out. If it has already been opened, place it in a small airtight container to protect it from absorbing other flavours in the fridge.

  • How long does Castello® Creamy White keep after opening?

    Castello® Creamy White is best enjoyed within about 5 days after opening, but as with most soft cheeses, the texture and flavour are at their best shortly after opening. Keep it in the fridge and make sure it is properly wrapped. If the cheese develops an unusual smell, excessive dryness, or visible spoilage, it is best not to eat it.

Enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth creaminess of Castello® Creamy White

Castello® Creamy White has a few pleasant surprises in store. Made with cream, it offers a velvety texture that feels silky and luscious on the palate, and beneath its very thin and delicate rind lies a soft, creamy centre that almost melts as soon as it touches your tongue. It is sophisticated and rich, showcasing the best qualities of a white mould cheese, elevated to new heights.

The cheese remains relatively mild, which is why it is appreciated by many cheese lovers, yet our non-standard recipe gives it a more complex quality than a typical brie. Elegant and irresistibly scrumptious, Castello® Creamy White shows just how indulgent a white mould cheese can be.

Wonderfully milky and buttery flavour with delicate notes of elderflower and walnut

Close your eyes and let Castello® Creamy White tantalise your palate. Past its delicate rind, the cheese reveals a luscious, creamy middle with a flavour that is both mild and quietly complex. The first impression is soft and milky, but as the cheese melts on your tongue, more delicate nuances emerge and the flavour moves from fresh and fragrant to round and mellow.

A light floral note, similar to elderflower, adds a light freshness that keeps the creamy richness in check. What follows is a faint hint of walnut that introduces a deeper, slightly nutty level, bringing warmth and balance to the cheese and making every taste a little more intriguing than the last.

Finished with gentle hints of natural yoghurt and dark chocolate

Good cheese knows not to be rushed, and Castello® Creamy White is no exception. During cheesemaking and ripening, the flavours gradually evolve, giving the cheese its distinctive, lingering finish.

The slight tang in flavour comes from the fresh dairy, and when paired with its soft, creamy texture, this light acidity brings the smooth freshness of natural yoghurt or cultured cream to mind.

The suggestion of dark chocolate is even more delicate. As the cheese ripens, it develops deeper, slightly nutty and mellow notes. When they meet the rich, creamy body of the cheese, they evoke a rounded, cocoa-like depth reminiscent of dark chocolate.

Made for refined cheese moments

Castello® Creamy White is made for refined moments, whether you are treating yourself or sharing a special moment with guests.

Enjoy it in all its glory as a baked creamy white cheese served warm with crispy crackers or slices of crusty baguette, ready to dip into the molten centre. Topped with juicy blackberries and liquorice syrup, this recipe allows sweet, fruity flavours to slowly infuse the cheese as it bakes, making it even more divine.

Castello® Creamy White also shines in lighter gourmet bites. Try it as a topping for homemade kale crisps, where its creamy richness offers a lovely counterpoint to the gentle bitterness of the kale. Add a few delicate slices of Parma ham, and you have a delicious snack to share with guests.

Or take inspiration from the Italian classic with rye bread avocado bruschetta. Crisp rye bread and buttery avocado are finished with slices of Castello® Creamy White, providing a smooth, creamy touch that complements the flavours brilliantly.

If you are looking for easy ways to refine your favourite recipes, Castello® Creamy White is the perfect choice.
