Classic Blue Stilton made by Cropwell Bishop Creamery Ltd is a renowned British cheese, known for its rich and tangy flavor profile, combined with a creamy texture that melts delightfully in the mouth. This cheese is characterized by its blue veins, which are created by piercing the crust during the aging process to allow air into the cheese, fostering the growth of Penicillium roqueforti mold.
This gives Blue Stilton its distinctive blue veining and robust, pungent flavor. Cropwell Bishop Creamery produces their Blue Stilton using traditional methods with milk sourced from local farms, ensuring a high-quality, artisan product. The creamery has a long-standing reputation for producing one of the finest examples of this iconic British cheese, which is often enjoyed crumbled over salads, melted on steaks, or simply as a part of a classic cheeseboard.
