Description

Ilchester Stilton is the "King of English Cheeses." Discovered in the early 18th century, when the owner of the Bell Inn in the town of Stilton in Leicestershire, England, tried a Blue cheese made by Elizabeth Scarbrow while visiting a small farm she worked on nearby. The Bell Inn soon had exclusive marketing rights, and wagons full of Stilton cheese were regularly delivered to the Inn. It is essentially a cheddar-like cheese.

Ilchester® Stilton has an extraordinary flavor that is full, rich and creamy, and carefully aged to create its distinctive blue veins. Today, Stilton is England's only name-protected cheese, and is considered one of the world's greatest cheeses. It is made of cow's milk, is crumbly, smooth and dense, is dark ivory with dark blue veining, and has a natural, crusty brown inedible rind.

Ilchester English Farmhouse Cheddar is one of the world's most popular cheeses named after the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England. Still made in Somerset, Devon and Dorset cheddar's flavor is unique in the cheese world, as it can be quite sharp and tangy when fully aged, while remaining warm and mellow.

Ilchester Five Counties is a celebration of England's "territorial cheeses," with single layers of Double Gloucester, Red Leicester, Cheshire, Derby, and Somerset Cheddar. Each is quite famous and delicious on its own, and together they combine to create a very unique cheese. Ilchester® Five Counties is mellow, slightly tangy, and a marvel in cheese architecture. It is made of cow's milk, is semi-firm, mellow and tangy, is ivory, deep yellow and has hues of orange. Ilchester Five Counties is rindless.

Ilchester Applewood Smoked Cheddar is a dense, semi-hard cheese with wonderful, natural smoky flavor, which makes it one of the most delicious smoked cheddars. It is a golden color and is covered in paprika.

Ilchester Whitel Stilton with Cranberries has a pale color of buttermilk-like taste and has tasty pieces of cranberries. It is a fabulous addition to any cheese platter.
