Stilcheton is the way Stilton should be. Stilton achieved its first protections via a trademark lawsuit in 1910, in 1967 the Stilton makers association was able to rewrite their definition so they could make Stilton in mass quantities. The first casualty here was raw milk; now all Stilton must be pasteurized by law. In an effort to produce Stilton like it was before it left the farm, the folks who brought you Neal's Yard Dairy have brought you this cheese. They took the oldest extant recipie for raw Stilton from Colston Basset, and began to modify it for use on the farm. After a year of esperimentation, the cheese has finally come into it's own. It tastes similar to the Colston Basset Stilton(animal rennet version) with a crumbly yet creamy paste, a hint of nuttyness, and a gentle unfurling blue. The raw milk adds a gorgeous earthy-animal note to the finish.
