British Cheeses

The most popular cheeses in Great Britain are Cheddar and Stilton


Cheddar: the best-known cheese in the English-speaking world are cheddar varieties range from natural white to deep orange in colour. The popular cheese is originated in the village of Cheddar Gorge in Somerset, England.


Stilton can be traced back to the early 18th century and the recipe used today is pretty much the same as it was then. This whole cow’s milk cheese is ripened for four to six months and skewered with Penicillium roqueforti to encourage the growth of mould. The result is a creamy, slightly crumbly cheese with delicate blue-green veins. Quintessentially English, Stilton has its own Certification Trade Mark and is an EU Protected Food Name. It can only be produced in the three Counties of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire and it must be made from locally produced milk that has been pasteurised before use

It is well-known as the blue cheese because of its magical blue veins radiating from the centre of the cheese
