Blue Stilton, White Stilton and White Stilton blends (eg with cranberries,
or apricots or ginger) are available in most good supermarkets and specialist
cheese shops throughout the UK including the following:
In many stores, Blue Stilton will be available in both pre-packs and from
the deli counter where you can try before you buy.
In buying Stilton, it is important to recognise that the taste and
texture of Blue Stilton will vary depending primarily on its age and
to a lesser extent on the time of year or the named dairy.
Young Stilton can be slightly bitter, very crumbly and have a sharp
or acidic taste. As it matures – in as little as a further 2 weeks
- so the texture becomes creamy or butter like, and the cheese develops
a more rounded, less aggressive, mellow flavour. If you try before you
buy from the deli counter you stand a better chance of getting the type
of Stilton you prefer.
White Stilton is made in the same way as blue Stilton except that the
blue mould is not added to the vat at the making stage and the cheese
will be sold at about 3 weeks of age. White Stilton has a fresh, milky
flavour with a beautiful creamy background. Ideal with fruit or crumbled
onto salads or melted onto toast.
White Stilton blended with sweet or savoury ingredients has become
increasingly popular – for some it is an ideal snack for others
the perfect end to a meal, combining both the cheese and dessert course
in one. Variants currently available include:
-
White Stilton with Apricot
-
White Stilton with Cranberries
-
White Stilton with Ginger
-
White Stilton with Mango and Ginger
-
White Stilton with Lemon
