STILTON CHEESE MAKERS ASSOCIATION
The word “STILTON” and the logo of the STILTON Cheese Makers’
Association shown below are both Certification Trade Marks registered
in the UK and various countries both within and outside the EU.
These marks may only be used on cheese made by one of the dairies licensed
and inspected by the Stilton Cheese Makers’ Association according
to the provisions of the Certification Trade Mark. These provisions are
essentially the same as those embedded in the European Union “Protected
Designation of Origin” (PDO), namely that:
- the cheese (White Stilton or Blue Stilton) has been made by a licensed
dairy located in Derbyshire, Leicestershire or Nottinghamshire
- the cheese has been made to a traditional recipe from locally produced
milk that has been pasteurised before use
- the cheese has been allowed to form its own crust
- the cheese has never been pressed
and in the case of blue Stilton exhibits the classic blue veining.
