Yesterday, I got a regal gift from my little sister. I didn't know she travelled all the way to England to visit her husbands parents. I couldnt hide my surprised facial expression when she handed over the gift. My eyes gloated when I saw what was inside. She brought home a chunk of authentic
Stilton Cheese just for me from England. I could hardly believe what I saw! It is probably the best gift I received this year. I was so happy and to thank her, I made some potted Christmas Stilton for her. It was a recipe I got from a dear friend of mine.
Interesting Blue Stilton Cheese Facts
Stilton Cheese is one of the best well known cheeses in the world. It is known as the King of All Cheeses. It has been said that it was first made in the 18th century. Since Stilton is a European Union protected food name, it can only be produced in Englands three counties: Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. There are only six diaries in the world that is licensed to make Stilton. Hence, any cheese that is named stilton made outside of these countries is not authentic. Stilton cheese are made only from locally produced milk and pasteurized before using. Authentic Stilton must have a blue vein searing at the center and is made in a cylindrical shape.
