This traditionally-made Stilton mixes in some unique techniques in the production of its cheese. It is hand-ladled during the curding process to give it a creamy texture and it is pierced later in the process in order to create a balanced cheese. The Colston Bassett Stilton has a strong and full flavor without going overboard with the blue. It is mellow, fruity, deep, and savory; a true classic English cheese at its best.
