What To Do With All this Leftover Holiday Stilton?
As the Christmas and New Year celebrations wind down, you may find
yourself with some left over Stilton. Don’t waste it – with
a little care you can enjoy the rest of the cheese over the coming months.
Here are some useful tips:
Always keep your Stilton well wrapped in the refrigerator
and preferably in an air tight container. This prevents the Stilton
tainting any other foods in the fridge and stops Stilton being tainted
by them.
Properly wrapped Stilton will keep perfectly well
in the fridge for a couple of weeks after opening. During this period,
it will continue to mature and will become creamier in texture and
develop a more mellow flavour.
For longer storage, Stilton freezes beautifully. Cut
into handy portion sizes of 150 grams (6 ozs) wrap in cling film or
foil and keep for up to 3 months.
Defrost in the fridge or a cool larder for about 24
hours before use – slow defrosting is essential to stop the
cheese becoming too crumbly. Once defrosted use as normal but eat
within a week and do not re-freeze.
