About Stilton cheese

Stilton is an English blue cheese made in a cylindrical form, with blue-green veining through a pale, crumbly interior. It is commonly sold as a whole cheese or cut wedge and eaten at the table; it is also crumbled into sauces and other preparations.

Its flavour is rich, savoury and tangy, with intensity varying during maturation. The texture is typically moist yet crumbly, while the natural rind is not usually the main eating portion. The protected name is associated with specified production standards, but maturation and individual cheese characteristics still vary.
