Castello Chili White cheese

Castello is a premium cheese brand that originated in Denmark in 1893, founded by Rasmus Tholstrup. The brand became widely known for its creative approach to cheesemaking, combining traditional craftsmanship with innovative flavors and textures. The Chili White variety is a soft white mold cheese infused with red chili flakes, designed to offer a balance of creamy texture and spicy heat.

Today, Castello is owned by Arla Foods, a massive global dairy cooperative based in Denmark. While Castello products are distributed globally to over 80 countries, the core production for its specialty cheeses like the White and Blue varieties remains primarily in Denmark. Arla Foods, as the ultimate owner, continues to operate as a cooperative owned by dairy farmers across Northern Europe, ensuring a farm-to-table supply chain for its premium cheese portfolio.
