Colston Bassett Stilton

Colston Bassett Stilton is a hard cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk by Colston Bassett Dairy in Nottinghamshire, East Midlands, England. The dairy uses a unique method of hand-ladling the curds from the vat to cooling trays. This process results in a close, creamy, and buttery textured cheese with a homogeneous distribution of blue veins. The cheese is rich and creamy, with a smooth, lingering complexity. Its strong flavor remains smooth, sweet, and creamy, while the blue veins become more defined as the cheese matures.
