What is "stilton"?
Stilton is a type of blue cheese made from cow's milk. It is known for its creamy texture and rich, tangy flavor. The cheese is characterized by its blue veining, which adds a distinct sharpness to its taste. Stilton is often crumbly and slightly moist, with a mellow and earthy aroma. It pairs well with fruits, nuts, and crackers, and is commonly used in salads, dressings, and as a cheese course on a cheese platter. Stilton is a beloved cheese choice for those who appreciate the bold and complex flavors of blue cheese varieties.
