Posted in Stilton, cheese, recipes

So I have been working on a campaign to help give Stilton cheeses rep a bit of a lift. Not that it has a bad rep, more that we see it more as a seasonal cheese or one which is eaten by old men with a sip of port. Hey all of that is very cool as far as I’m concerned and there is something a bit retro about Stilton adding to my love of it. Ultimately it’s a bloody brilliant cheese, that needs to be recognised. It’s not as harsh as a lot of blues, in fact it’s probably one of the mildest and it’s so creamy, melts brilliantly and makes a blooming great ingredient where you would normally put your usual Cheddar or Parmesan.

I have posted 10 Stilton recipes for you to get your goggles on so give them a go and if you have an amazing Stilton recipe then let me know about it.

I’m going to try the Whole Pastry-wrapped Brie with some friends this week. Girlie film and wine to accompany. Great website x

So nice to find such a big Stilton fan. i have been cooking with it for years and always felt it was a shame it was such a table cheese as its by far the best blue to cook with.

Good work with the site Gizzi.
