I sliced it and put it on bread (french bread)
and put it under the broiler for just a couple of
minutes until the cheese melted slightly.
Also ate it on crusty bread alone. Both were
excellent.
fantastic with a lemon citrus dressing on arugula with a fresh pear!
I try to keep the Mango cheese in my refrigerator all the time. It's a perfect lunch with some bread & wine or a great snack anytime.
Had the mango and ginger variety and loved it. Someone stated it was a bit crumbly, and it is...but it's somehow creamy too. Will buy this again, and also plan to try the lemon.
This flavor had so much fruit that it is very difficult to serve. It tends to crumble. The fruit seems to have been preserved somehow, and the taste seemed more like weak pineapple.
We tasted this cheese fruit combination in Wisconsin and LOVED it. This is the first time we've tried it from any other store. VERY Good... but just a bit short of the original!
This is a great dessert cheese with a wonderful and surprising flavor. I loved it.
Great tasting cheese - Unusual and well received.
I have to say that this is the best cheese I've ever had - you can have it with wine, alone, or with crackers.
We had the cheese at Thanksgiving and it had cranberries in it. Delicious!! It was a big hit, everyone loved it!
I've tried both the Pear/Apple and the Lemon; both were quite tasty. Another reviewer mentioned that the chunks of pear and apple are quite noticable in that flavor -- yes, but that's a GOOD thing. My only complaint is that fruity stilton doesn't keep well after opened. I'm the only cheese eater in my household, so I usually buy this for parties, where it is always well received. Or for comfort food on a cold winter's night at home, gently melt some on fresh full-bodied bread ... mmmmmmm!
Fantastic and very fresh.
Best with arugula and pears!!!
My wife fell in love with the Stilton with Mango & Ginger at a Texas wine event and we've ordered it twice (once a blueberry version was substituted). When we had it at the wine event it was paired with an Orange Muscat wine which really was a perfect match. I prefer wines that are less sweet, and I enjoy the Stilton with a variety of white wines just because the taste is so unique.

MADE MY TASTE BUDS DANCE...
This cheese, especially the mango and ginger, has been a family favorite for a number of years. We serve it as part of a dessert cheese board but also just eat it for a snack just about anytime.
Stilton never fails to please me, and this one was no exception. The stilton with mango and ginger is a sweet, fruity, and flavorful cheese that works well as a snack, crumbled over a salad, or as a nice dessert cheese.
Everyone raved about the flavor -- it went fast. Everyone wanted to know where I got it. We all loved it.
This is wonderful cheese. I purchased both the cranberry and blueberry and they are both excellent!
We were introduced to the Stilton with mango at a wine tasting, paired with Orange Muscat wine. More to my wife's taste but I enjoyed it as well. We took home a bottle of the wine and ordered the cheese. I had indicated it was OK to substitute if they did not have the mango and we received the Stilton with Blackberry (which happens to be my wife's favorite berry). We enjoyed it very much when we tried it, but enjoyed the texture of the Mango version more (the blueberry had a skin effect). The cheese has (to me) the texture of New York Cheesecake, and we love it on our wine and cheese weekends together :-)
I loved it [...]
This is a fabulous cheese. I have shared with friends and now they are hooked too. The delicate sweet flavor of the fruit perfectly compliments the cheese. Makes a delicious snack on a simple cracker, and post-dinner it is wonderful with a light dessert wine.
This is not a fine cheese; it is the Velveeta of Stiltons, and really shouldn't bear that name. I don't hate it - it's just boring and bland, factory made cheese. You can do better for not much more, or about the same price. For example, Fourme d'Ambert usually costs a little less, and is in a whole different league from this cheese. Eat the Fourme d'Ambert (or Cashel Blue, or even a mature cheddar) with a ripe pear or crisp apple; spread some mango chutney on a hunk of French bread, and alternate it with bites of the aforementioned cheese. THEN you'll have a real cheese worthy of mention and notice. This is not to say that [...] sells the stilton-fruit cheeses in a bad condition.And there are lots of people who like this. Just understand that this is not an artisanal or handmade cheese - it's made in a factory and by the millions of pounds. I just think that cheese-lovers can do better than to bother with it.
Very tasty dessert cheese but not overly sweet. The flavor of the fruit really comes through and there is a large portion of it in the cheese.
Welove the lemon and orange varieties; the rest are not very good in our experience.
I tried the mango and ginger stilton.... loved the flavor and the bits of fruit. Look forward to trying the other varieties.
I am not one to like fruit in my cheese. This cheese change my mind. Great flavor! Try it with a nice Gewurztraminer, it really makes the cheese pop!
These cheeses are fresh and lightly tangy. They are nothing like blue Stilton.
Apricot: This one's not sweet at all, the dried apricots are California-style, not Turkish (ie, sharp and tangy rather than soft and sweet).
Mango: Significantly sweeter than apricot, and the mango flavor permeates the cheese.
Lemon: This is flavored with candied lemon rind and it tastes very special -- it's fresh and bright. Don't miss this one.
Apple and Pear: More dense with fruit than the others. Great flavor, but the dried apples are spongy and the dried pears are grainy.
I love the freshness of the fruit flavors. The lemon and orange are particularly great - really a fruity tang to complement the rich, crumbly cheese. I also like the ginger. They are great for eating alone, but the fruit stiltons are also good on a pear/walnut salad (for those of us who don't like the blue cheeses, the fruit gives the extra punch!)
everyone loved this one! Most asked question...What is this cheese?
The mango and ginger is too die for! A wonderful chance to savor a taste of England without the trip.
The white stilton was creamy and the mango and ginger were a good contrast in flavors.
This cheese was sweet, yet had a lovely little bite. It bursts with flavor. It adds amazing breadth to an appetizer tray and makes a wonderful dessert.
Although I am not crazy about plain Stilton, theses fruit cheeses are incredible. There is a natural sweetness from the generous amount of fruit chopped in tiny pieces and mixed evenly through the cheese. It is great eaten with wine or as a dessert. I cannot choose a favorite flavor because they are all so good.
Pineapple is my favorite,but they are all great
Excellent dessert cheeses..and very unusual. I can't stop eating the Mango and Ginger once I start! It's become my favorite cheese!! It also goes great with pear and apples too! I have also enjoyed the pineapple and cherry and can't wait to try the apricot!!
It would go great as a party cheese sampler. Especially with a chocolate/cocao cheese.
Overall a tasty cheese though a bit meally but I actually liked the texture.
