Colston Bassett Stilton

Rich, creamy and beautifully balanced – the king of British blue cheese

Colston Bassett Stilton is one of the UK’s most revered and authentic blue cheeses, handmade in Nottinghamshire using time-honoured techniques that have been perfected over generations. Crafted with milk from local farms and hand-ladled curds for a luxuriously smooth texture, this PDO-protected cheese is celebrated for its mellow, buttery body and distinctive blue veining that delivers depth without harshness.

Each wheel is matured slowly to develop its signature flavour — rich, savoury, and beautifully balanced, with gentle sweetness and a creamy, melt-in-the-mouth finish. Perfect for cheeseboards, blue cheese lovers, or adding sophistication to dishes like steaks, salads, and sauces, Colston Bassett Stilton brings British cheesemaking at its finest to your table.

A true classic, this award-winning Stilton pairs wonderfully with port, dessert wine, or crisp cider.

Please note: all cheeses are hand-cut, so weights are approximate. We take great care to ensure accuracy and quality in every slice.
