Delicious Stilton

We had the Italian and her delightful husband B over for dinner over the weekend. We cracked open a lovely jar of Stilton that Will had brought back from England.

As our lovely model B shows, it is from Fortnum & Mason. This Nottinghamshire version of the ‘King of Cheeses’ is creamy and sweet with a heavily veined texture and predictably full flavor. From the last family-owned Stilton producer in the UK, this cheese can be made only with organic milk from the three counties where Stilton is made. As you can see, it is blue and veiny, and quite delicious.
