The original pioneer of Blue Stilton, commonly referred to as "The King of Cheeses," was Mr. Cooper Thornhill, owner of the Bell Inn on the Great North Road in the town of Stilton. In 1730, Mr. Thornhill discovered a distinctive blue cheese while visiting a small farm in rural Leicestershire. He fell in love with the cheese and forged a business arrangement that granted the Bell Inn exclusive marketing rights to Blue Stilton. Soon thereafter, wagon loads of cheese were being delivered to the Inn. Since the main stagecoach routes from London to the North of England passed through the village of Stilton he was able to promote the sale of this cheese and the legend of Stilton rapidly spread far and wide. The extraordinary flavor comes from careful aging for a minimum of three months. This Stilton is produced in Leicestershire and is full, rich and creamy. Its shocking blue veins radiate outward from a natural, crinkly brown crust, revealing layers and folds of honeyed, cheddary flavor. We recommend this mature Stilton as a pure table (eating) cheese; it is too precious and delicious to submerge in a dressing or dip.

Fabulous cheese
An outstanding Stilton. No wonder you're out of stock! Anyone who likes cheeses with character will love this one. With baguette, on salad or with fruit this cheese is just magic. Can't wait for it to be back in stock so I can order some more.

A quality Stilton
I usually buy the Royal Blue Stilton but decided to try the Mature Bule Stilton this year and I was not disappointed! This stilton had the same creamy texture and full flavor I look for in a really good stilton. I highly recommend this cheese. It can complete well with any blue cheese on offer.

Yummy
Promptly delivered and a real treat. Recently moved from NYC to a rural area with great local cheeses, but English Stilton is not available. The igourmet cheese is excellent - creamy, pungent and well veined with blue!
