Welcome to the home of Stilton Cheese - Britain's historic blue cheese
and Britain's favourite blue cheese.
Eighteenth century travellers encountering their first taste of Stilton™
cheese must have spread the word of its remarkable, mouth-pleasing flavour.
Today, nearly 300 years later, Stilton is still made exclusively in
the counties of Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire from
local milk.
Only seven dairies, using the original centuries-old recipe, are licensed
to produce the creamy ivory-hued king of cheeses. So esteemed is Stilton's
unique flavour and texture, it is the only British cheese graced with
its own certification trademark.
Lighter than Gorgonzola, richer than Danish blue and more intense than
UK blues, Britain's Historic Blue is causing a revolution in the kitchen.
Its meltable, full-rounded qualities enliven salads and hors d'oeuvres,
soups and sauces, as well as meat, vegetable and fruit dishes.
More than a cheese, Stilton is prized as the authentic flavour of an
earlier time - a taste of history that continues to make news.
