Cropwell Bishop Stilton (200g)

Description

Cropwell Bishop Stilton has been going for three generations and has distinctive blue veins, matured for 5 weeks to give a wonderful, buttery texture. The cheese has a rich tangy flavour, and a velvety-soft texture that makes it melt in the mouth. We buy our stilton by the wheel, where it can mature properly.

Cropwell Bishop craft this cheese carefully by hand, using methods that have changed little since the 17th Century. It is made using vegetarian rennet, and around 78 litres of fresh, local milk. This stilton is aged for up to 12 weeks to develop its unique flavour.

This cheese boasts an array of awards that pay respect to the pinnacle of traditional British cheesemaking. In 2016, it was crowned Supreme Champion at the Great Yorkshire Show, and in 2017 it was awarded the highest possible 3 stars in the Great Taste Awards.
