Colston Basset Stilton
Colston Bassett Stilton comes from one of the smallest Stilton dairies in England. The curd is hand ladled before draining, which treats the curd more gently and preserves its structure which results in a luscious, creamy texture when the cheese matures. The paste is crumbly when young, softening and darkening at the rind as it matures. It is a lovely creamy ivory colour with well-spread blue veining growing from the centre outwards. The aroma is sharply nutty and the flavor is full of mellow nuts and fruit. The flavor strengthens as it matures. The king of cheeses!
