Stilton Cheese: How It Could Really Be Called One

Did you know that there are tons of cheese types? There is blue cheese, cheese with apples and oatmeal cheeses? No two cheese is alike in two countries, some have Y Fenni which has mustard seed blended in as well as ale.I would steer clear from that. I love Stilton Cheese better.

Stilton Cheese reigns supreme for me. This type is only made in three English counties namely: Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. This certain cheese has a semi-soft texture; it is also crumbly and does get creamier as it ages. Aging time of this is 9 weeks minimum.

There are criteria to be followed in order for a cheese to be called Stilton Cheese:

• The cheese should be in its traditional cylindrical form.

• Production of this cheese should only be one of the following counties: Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

• Be allowed to form in its crust or coat.

• Should be unpressed.

• Have visible blue veins radiating from the center.

• It should have a typical Stilton taste.

Only 35% of fat is found in this cheese, about 23% of protein and minimal amounts of salt.

This cheese can be eaten with celery and pears. The cheese brings out the flavors of celery and broccoli if added. This cheese can be paired with crackers, biscuits and bread. Drizzling this to steaks should also be a must try. That is something to try out.Add some cheese over a green salad would be a lovely twist to it.

This makes me crave for it much more than usual. I think I need to shop before the Yuletide comes. I confess, it was a lame alibi but nothing can stop me from enjoying my fill of cheese. I call this cheese the King of all cheeses. Call me biased; this has always been my favorite cheese.

I need to see what else I might need before some impulse buying happens. A nice dinner would be great to end the day.I need to buy some celery and broccoli for a vegetable soup.A fresh salad would be perfect, id buy some later.Port with steak and cheese sounds really good.I have to check what else I might need in the house and why not create that lovely dinner yourself? Call the best cheese shop nearest you for your Stilton Blue Cheese. Enjoy that dinner! I know I will really enjoy mine.
