Stilton

Founded in 1913, and still one of the smallest Stilton dairies in the UK, Colston Bassett uses more traditional methods than most other Stilton producers. The curd is still hand-ladled before draining, which preserves its structure, resulting in a luscious, creamy texture when the cheeses are mature. The rind is a mottled orange-brown with patches of natural white mold. Flavors are rich and lactic with a wonderful balance of blue mold, earth and butter. In the end, you will not enjoy a more fantastic blue cheese. Enjoy as is, use it to top your favorite steak hot off the grill, or enjoy it with candied nuts and a glass of port for dessert.
