How Traditional English Stilton Cheese Is Made At A 100-Year-Old Dairy | Regional Eats
Stilton cheese takes its name from the village of Stilton, in the east of England. The earliest reports of cheese made and sold here date to the 17th century. In 1724, English writer Daniel Defoe referred to the town being "famous for cheese," calling the product the "English Parmesan." Today, Stilton can only be made in six dairies, which are spread across three counties in England: Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and Derbyshire. We visited Colston Bassett Dairy in Nottinghamshire to learn more about the cheese is made.

I used to live with a French student and she hated most British food - but she loved Stilton and it became her favourite cheese. She even bought an entire wheel of it.
7:08 When I was a vegetarian, the reason I never became vegan is that I refused to stop eating Stilton. When I went to Neal's Yard, and was talking to a cheesemonger I was rattling on about Stilton, and he started talking about the differences in taste based on the time of year and the dairy from which they came...basically, there are vintages of Stilton. He gave me different samples from different dairies and of different ages, and there really were noticeable differences. Best cheese on earth, hands down. Try it in a sandwich, of crusty bread with Branston pickle. Bliss.

Cant beat a good steak and stilton pie. I always go for stilton to make the pie in question as the water content in the likes of Gorgonzola and Roquefort is too high, The only blue cheese that comes close to stilton that is viable for pies and cheese sauce etc in my opinion is Danish blue.
It's always wonderful to hear about the history, stories and culture surrounding the food we enjoy eating.

My favorite cheese hands down! The first time I had a Ploughman's Lunch at a pub (Wheatsheaf?) near Grafham Water reservoir I fell in love with this cheese. It was a simple fare, bread, butter, Branston Pickle, a bit of lettuce, tomato, and cucumber, and of course the Stilton. Fond memories riding my mountain bike 'round Grafham and stopping off to eat a Ploughman's Lunch and quaff a pint of ale before cycling home to Buckden.
