Colston Bassett Stilton

Colston Bassett Stilton is a renowned British blue cheese made from pasteurised cow’s milk in Nottinghamshire, offering an exceptionally rich, velvety texture with a deep, creamy flavour. Sweet and beautifully balanced, it has distinctive mineral notes and a gentle wine-like spice, with a long, complex finish that makes it one of the finest examples of traditional Stilton.

Made by Billy Kevan and his team using traditional methods, Colston Bassett Stilton is one of the last remaining exclusively hand-ladled Stiltons. The curds are gently handled and hand-ladled before being naturally drained, rubbed and matured. After several weeks, the cheeses are pierced to allow oxygen to enter and encourage the development of their characteristic blue veining, resulting in an intensely creamy texture and wonderfully deep flavour.

Pair it with pear, apple chutney or oatcakes to complement its sweet, savoury character. Also delicious with walnuts and dried fruit, crumbled through salads or melted into rich sauces, or enjoyed as part of a cheeseboard with a glass of Port, full-bodied red wine or a robust British ale.
