Stilton
Varieties
Stilton is a protected designation of origin (PDO) cheese. It is the only British cheese graced by its own certification trademark.
Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Stilton is an excellent table cheese, appropriate for snacks, cooking, and fine cheese plates. It enlivens salads, hors d’oeuvres, and fruit dishes. For dishes that require a melting cheese, like pasta, quiche, pizza, stuffed mushrooms, mashed potatoes, rice dishes (especially those with sage and walnuts), cheese scones, grilled sandwiches, and French bread, the distinctive flavor of Stilton is a great choice. It complements a range of soups, sauces, and meat and vegetable dishes as well. It also adapts nicely to regional dishes such as quesadillas and tenderloin with Cajun seasonings.
Storing
Stilton should be kept in its original package, covered tightly after opening, and placed in the coldest section of the refrigerator at a temperature of under 40°F (4.4°C).
