Cheese - Stilton

DESCRIPTION One of the most famous cheeses to come out of England, it must be made in 1 of the 3 approved regions in northern England (Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire).  With a strong, spicy flavor this beautifully veined blue cheese has a creamy texture and natural rind.  The cut face on half wheels is usually sprayed with a clear wax to keep the cheese from prematurely oxidizing.  To learn more about Stilton click here!   ORIGIN United Kingdom   MILK TYPE Cow   RAW MILK OR PASTEURIZED? Pasteurized   STORAGE TIPS Refrigerate preferably in its own drawer close to where most of the produce is kept.  After each time that you slice the cheese, re-wrap it with fresh plastic wrap to extend the shelf life.  While some chefs will freeze a slice of blue and then grate it over a salad before serving, Chef's Mandala doesn't recommend freezing cheeses in general.   PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED THIS ALSO PURCHASED Cheese Plate By Cheese Type - Gruyere Reserve and Langres By Origin - English-style cheddar and Cotswold Pairings - a slice of Madrange ham and some Dijon mustard go well together with Stilton on a sandwich   SUBSTITUTES Shropshire Blue   INGREDIENTS Pasteurized cow milk, salt, rennet (vegetable), cheese culture, penicillium roqueforti.
