This is your guide to creating a perfect blue cheese board to impress your guests at your next summer soiree
As polarising as it may be–there is something intrinsically elegant about blue cheese. Designed for a refined palette, it’s fatty, funky and flavoursome–giving main character energy on a plate, and even better when perfectly paired with the right foods. We’ve tried a few, but it’s hard to beat Castello’s blue cheese range. Whether you’re into mild, creamy, or bold flavours, there’s a perfect match for every palate.

Blue Cheese & Fresh Fruits
Pair a creamy blue with fresh fruits like figs, grapes, and pomegranate for a burst of sweetness, then round out your board with savoury favourites—think nuts, olives, roasted peppers, and sundried tomatoes. And don’t forget the essentials: crisp crackers, a fresh loaf of bread and a tangy chutney to cut through the richness of the cheese. This is charcuterie board 101.
Blue Cheese Steak Sauce
But when we think about summer dining, the star of any alfresco affair is undoubtedly a perfectly seared steak hot off the BBQ. Elevate the dish even further by topping it with a rich and creamy blue cheese sauce; a nice entry to the form for anyone apprehensive about blue, as much as it is for the cheese’s most devout fan. It’s also really good on grilled mushrooms or cauliflower steaks, too.
Blue Cheese & Honeycomb
When daylight wanes, if you haven’t already had your blue cheese fill–a drizzle of honey over a fruit and cheese pairing adds just the
right sweetness to complement the salty, creamy richness of the cheese.
