Varieties

Stilton is a protected designation of origin (PDO) cheese. It is the only British cheese graced by its own certification trademark.

Buying and storing tips

In selecting Stilton, look for cheese that has the blue mold spread out to the rind. The taste is intense, and the cheese should be rich and creamy, not dry and crumbly. Stilton purchased when it is too young can be bitter and dry; ask for a taste first. It matures in 9 to 15 weeks.

Stilton should be kept in its original package, covered tightly after opening, and placed in the coldest section of the refrigerator at a temperature of under 40°F (4.4°C).

Preparation, uses, and tips

Stilton is an excellent table cheese, appropriate for snacks, cooking, and fine cheese plates. It enlivens salads, hors d’oeuvres, and fruit dishes. For dishes that require a melting cheese, like pasta, quiche, pizza, stuffed mushrooms, mashed potatoes, rice dishes (especially those with sage and walnuts), cheese scones, grilled sandwiches, and French bread, the distinctive flavor of Stilton is a great choice. It complements a range of soups, sauces, and meat and vegetable dishes as well. It also adapts nicely to regional dishes such as quesadillas and tenderloin with Cajun seasonings.
