Blue Stilton cheese from Clawson Dairy is a distinguished product with a rich history and a distinctive profile. Made exclusively in Leicestershire, this cheese benefits from a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, ensuring that only cheese produced in certain counties can be called Blue Stilton.
It's crafted using local cow's milk and is known for its crumbly yet creamy texture and bold, tangy flavor that develops over an eight-week maturation period. Blue Stilton is characterized by its blue veins which radiate from the center, contributing to its unique taste.
This cheese is an award-winning product, repeatedly recognized for its quality and flavor in competitions. Clawson Dairy, the producer of Blue Stilton, was founded over a century ago and continues to employ traditional cheesemaking techniques handed down through generations.
