06/08/09 - STILTON RETAINS ITS CROWN AS THE KING OF ENGLISH CHEESE

As the reigning King of English cheese, Stilton once again went to battle at this year's International Cheese Awards held last week at Nantwich.

Fighting off the competition not only from Britain's illustrious cheeseboard, but the worlds', Stilton was crowned victorious after being named Supreme Champion at the biggest cheese competition in the world.

Representing the Stilton Cheese Makers', it was a fine blue cheese produced by Cropwell Bishop Creamery that earned the prestigious accolade and once again writes Stilton's grand name into the history books. Howver in total four of the Stilton producing dairies claimed first prizes in different classes. 

With Stilton's heritage traced back to the early 18th century, the win signifies yet another highlight within the cheese's famous life.

Three cheers for Stilton, long live the King!
