Colston Bassett Stilton – Nottinghamshire’s Iconic Blue
Velvety, mellow blue with buttery richness and subtle, lingering complexity.
• Milk Type: Cow’s Milk
• Rennet: Traditional
• Pasteurisation: Pasteurised
• Producer: Billy Kevan, Colston Bassett Dairy, Nottinghamshire
• Aging: 12 Weeks
• Style: PDO-certified Blue Cheese
The gold standard of British blue cheese, Colston Bassett Stilton is a revelation for both skeptics and connoisseurs alike. Hand-ladled and traditionally crafted, this Stilton is notably creamier and more mellow than mass-market blues—less sharp, more sumptuous.
Its paste is dense yet spreadable, with delicate marbling of blue veining that melts seamlessly into a buttery base. Expect rich, lactic sweetness up front, followed by a gently tangy, savoury finish. This is a blue cheese with finesse—round, nutty, and balanced, never overpowering.
Perfect for converting the hesitant and delighting the devoted.
Pairing Suggestions
• Wine: Classic with Port, also pairs well with Tokaji or rich Barleywine
• Charcuterie: Try alongside Suffolk pastrami or venison chorizo for contrast
• Accompaniments: Spiced pear chutney, toasted pecans, or oat biscuits
