The original pioneer of Blue Stilton, commonly referred to as "The King of
Cheeses", was Mr. Cooper Thornhill, owner of the Bell Inn on the Great
North Road in the town of Stilton. In 1730, Mr. Thornhill discovered a
distinctive blue cheese while visiting a small farm in rural
Leicestershire. He fell in love with the cheese and forged a business
arrangement that granted the Bell Inn exclusive marketing rights to Blue
Stilton. Soon thereafter, wagon loads of cheese were being delivered to
the Inn. Since the main stagecoach routes from London to the North of
England passed through the village of Stilton he was able to promote the
sale of this cheese and the legend of Stilton rapidly spread far and wide.
This glorious 2.5 pound wheel of Blue Stilton is the cheese the English
have kept for themselves until now! Its extraordinary flavor comes from
careful aging for a minimum of four weeks. This special Stilton, still
produced in Leicestershire, is full, rich and creamy. Its shocking blue
veins radiate outward from a natural, crinkly brown crust, revealing
layers and folds of honeyed, cheddary flavor. We recommend this Stilton as
a pure table (eating) cheese; it is too precious and delicious to submerge
in a dressing or dip.
