Notes: The Colston Bassett dairy was formed in 1912 and is one of the smallest dairies in the Stilton-makers Association still making cheese today, it is considered to be one of the best Stilton's produced in this area. Inside the natural crusty rind the cheese has a delicious soft and creamy texture with a blue syrupy finish. The aroma is huge and spicy; the natural rind is edible and very pungent, the cheese is aged for approximately 4 months.
