Posh cheese Picks - Stichelton Blue
One of few blue unpasteurised cheeses made in the UK. Hand-made to a traditional recipe producing an outstanding cheese. Creamy and nutty with a rich yet gentle blue note.
You may be wondering why this isn’t categorised as a Stilton. All Stilton cheeses in the UK have to be pasteurised following a food poisoning scare in 1989. So the old English word for Stilton is used instead - Stichelton. A respectful nod to its roots and traditional Stilton style of cheese.
We love washing this down with a traditional British ale, a refreshing cut through of the decedent buttery base Stichelton has. Bonus points if you have it in a tankard for the full Ye Old English experience.
