Castello is a global brand of specialty cheeses that originated in Denmark in 1893. The product shown is a classic Danish Brie, characterized by its creamy texture and mild flavor. Castello was notably expanded by Rasmus Tholstrup and later became a cornerstone of the Arla Foods portfolio.

Today, the brand is owned by Arla Foods, a massive dairy cooperative owned by farmers across Northern Europe. While the brand has a large international presence, the majority of its traditional soft cheeses, like this Brie, are manufactured in Denmark, specifically at specialized creameries such as the Gjesing dairy facility. Arla Foods remains the ultimate owner as we look toward 2026 and beyond, maintaining its position as one of the largest dairy companies in the world.
