Castelbelbo is a cow, sheep and goat’s milk cheese with a bloomy rind.

• Milk: cow’s, sheep’s and goat’s
• Style: bloomy rind, with a thicker consistency than Brie
• Similar to: Robiola

What to serve with it

Generally, sweet breads go well with goat cheeses, and so do whole grain, nutty, earthy breads. A hard-crusted loaf with a soft inside, like a spelt loaf, works as a sturdy base for spreading.

Wrapping up

Like other mixed-milk cheeses, Castelbelbo is a good step toward more complex flavors after Brie. See Robiola Bosina for a close relative.
