At Arla Foods, we’re always proud of the quality and flavour of our Rosenborg® Blue Cheese and Castello® Gorgonzola.
We’re even prouder when that quality is recognized in prestigious cheese competitions. In 2008, the pair of Blue Cheeses scored a 1-2 punch at two major competitions. At the 81st British Empire Cheese Competition Castello® Gorgonzola took 1st place in the Blue Veined category, followed closely by Rosenborg® Blue Cheese. At Canada’s Royal Winter Fair the Blue Veined Category was swept by our products, with Rosenborg® Blue Cheese taking 1st, and Castello® Gorgonzola 2nd.
