Castello Danablu cheese

Castello is a heritage brand of specialty cheeses originally founded in Denmark. The brand was established in 1893 by Rasmus Tholstrup, who sought to create cheeses that combined craft craftsmanship with innovative flavors.

The product shown is a classic Danish Blue cheese (Danablu), which is a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) product, meaning it must be produced in Denmark following specific traditional methods to carry the name.

Today, Castello is owned and manufactured by Arla Foods, a major European dairy cooperative owned by thousands of farmers across several northern European countries. The brand remains headquartered in Denmark, and its specialty cheeses continue to be produced primarily in Danish creameries for global distribution.
