Stilton, Colston Bassett
Funded
by a group of local milk producers and local cheese lovers, Colston Bassett &
District Dairy Limited was built in 1913 specifically to make Stilton in the
Vale of Belvoir, Nottinghamshire, England. Today, the name Colston Bassett is
synonymous with Stilton. The only time Colston Bassett stopped their Stilton
production was during World War II when consistent supplies and workers were
more rationed than food.
Aged for four months, Colston Basset Stilton is hand-ladled to produce an
incredibly rich and succulent blue cheese. At the same time the cheese manages
to be both moist and crumbly and it develops a deep, syrupy intensity.
