Daily Favorite: Lemon Stilton Cheese


Stilton is traditionally thought of as a blue cheese with a strong smell and myriad veins - if you are strict, it should be produced in one of three English counties (Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire). There is a less well-know variety of white Stilton, which happens also be be less smelly and less veiny, that is used to make a dessert cheese that we LOVE.

Lemon Stilton has a the texture of a soft blue with a base taste reminiscent of cream cheese. The fact that it is a Stilton, gives this cheese's flavor a slight bite. The candied lemon peel added throughout the cheese add a sweeter taste and fruity notes. This cheese is delicious alone or paired with fruits, breads, olives, almost anything!
