Product Details

Creamy and buttery-smooth in texture with a long and complex flavour.  Stichelton has a rich, toasty flavour that expands and lasts developing caramel and hazelnut notes as it develops.  The blueing creates a savoury touch but also as the cheese ages can add more caramel notes too.  The flavour is striking. long lasting and keeps you going back for more.

Stichelton is made following an old-fashioned Stilton recipe but using unpasteurised milk.  For this reason, it can't be called Stilton.

Joe Schneider and his fellow cheesemakers Margaret & Tracey make a very traditional cheese using raw milk from the organic herd of Friesian-Holsteins at Collingthwaite Farm.  The classic recipe they follow uses very small quantities of a liquid bacterial starter culture and incredibly small amounts of rennet to produce a delicate curd which as it ages results in a silkier textured final cheese.
