Castello® Bavarian Alps Selection is made from cows that live…
SPONSORED STORY
This wonderful cheese is wiped with Bavarian Weissbier from the oldest privately-owned brewery in Germany, only 12 miles from the dairy, 3 times per week during ripening.
The Castello Alps Selection Weissbier has a buttery taste with hints of hoppy bitterness and nuttiness. The consistency is soft, and it almost melts in your mouth. Serve the Castello Alps Selection Weissbier with a white wine like a Riesling, or try it with the very beer it has been wiped with during ripening. It is also great in cooking – for any dish that requires a cheese that melts well.
The Castello Alps Selection Weissbier is produced with mountain milk from cows grazing in the Alps at minimum ½ mile above sea level and is smeared with mountain herbs and spices during ripening. The cheese matures for a minimum of 2 months at 55°F and 2-4 weeks at 43°F at about 95-98% humidity in order to get the very special flavor and consistency right.

Castello® Bavarian Alps Selection is made from cows that live a life of privilege, grazing on Alpine grasses and herbs high up in the mountains during summer. Come fall, they are paraded back to warm homes and milked with care in a centuries-old tradition. Time-honoured recipes turn their distinctive, herb-infused milk into delicious cheeses that will transport you and everyone you share them with to a Bavarian mountain high. Castello® is proud to share these unique cheeses with you.
