Castello Creamy White is a premium soft-ripened cheese characterized by its thin rind and rich, buttery interior. The brand's history dates back to 1893, when master cheesemaker Rasmus Tholstrup founded the company in Denmark. Over the decades, his son Henrik expanded the business and introduced innovative varieties, including the signature white mold cheeses that became a staple of the brand.

Today, Castello is produced by Arla Foods, a major international dairy cooperative headquartered in Denmark. While the brand has global reach and some semi-hard varieties are produced in other locations like Wisconsin for the North American market, the traditional white mold cheeses like Creamy White are primarily manufactured in Denmark, maintaining the heritage and craftsmanship established by the Tholstrup family. Arla Foods continues to manage the brand as one of its flagship labels, focusing on both traditional methods and sustainable dairy production.
