THE HOUSE OF CASTELLO BRINGS ALPS SELECTION CHEESES TO THE UNITED STATES The House of Castello ® is bringing three cheeses―Weissbier, Bergkase, and Hirten―from the Alps to the United States. The Alps Selection cheeses, the first of their kind available in the U.S., will join the Castello line of award-win- ning Danish Blue and premium Havarti cheeses. Castello will celebrate the launch with a series of events in New York City, including the New York City Food & Wine Festival, Das Best OktoberFest, and the Castello Alps Selection Food Truck. "Any serious cheese lover knows New York is the Specialty Cheese Capitol of the country," explained Adam Criscione, Brand Manager. "There are so many specialty cheese shops, cheese experts, and cheese lovers...we had to give them first shot at these amazing tastes." Bringing the Mountains to Manhattan In celebration of the Alps Selection launch, the Castello Food Truck distrib- uted free samples in Manhattan from October 10 to 30 through the expert help of Sweetery NYC ® . Castello alerted cheese fans on Twitter and Facebook with the daily locations of the truck, which sampled all three varieties; Weissbier, Bergkase, and Hirten, and invited New Yorkers to vote for their favorite by phone. For each vote, the company will make a donation to support Food Bank For New York City TM up to $10,000. The Alps Selection was also featured at this year's New York City Wine & Food Festival in October. Castello was the official cheese sponsor of the Burger Bash featuring Rachel Ray and is a Silver Level sponsor at the Grand Tasting, which will run daily from 12 to 6 p.m. Samples were also distributed at Meatpacking Uncorked and The Art of the Party. Castello finished out the celebration at Das Best OktoberFest, where they are sponsoring this day long festival with samples of the German cheeses. About Castello Best known for produc- ing the authentic Castello Danish Blue from the original recipe, the company has been making cheese since 1893, and holds an impressive record of world-class product awards, including 33 for the Danish Blue. In spring 2012, Denmark's Finest Havarti became the first yellow cheese to join the Castello line of products.
