About Colston Bassett Stilton
Size 1.00kg
Colston Bassett Stilton Cheese is made by one of the smallest Stilton producers in the country. Colston Bassett is a farmers’ co-operative that has been making cheese in the Vale of Belvoir since 1913. Curds are hand ladled to maintain their delicate structure, producing an intensely rich and creamy cheese. The cheeses are pierced relatively late (to activate the blue mould) so that they have time to develop a rounded avour. Mellow, smooth, and creamy with evenly spread blue veins, Colston Bassett also balances sweet, savoury, and salty notes. This gives it a deep, lingering, and complex flavour that will leave you wanting more.
Serving & Pairing
Serve with Scottish oatcakes and biscuits, chutneys and pickles and contrasting cheeses from our artisan cheese range. See our cheeseboard guide.
