    I would like to taste Stichelton some day. It's nice to see new local producers of good food. We need that.
    The manufacturers of Stilton cheese in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire applied for and received Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status in 1996. At that time they used pasteurised milk. Stilton cheese cannot be made in Stilton village, which gave the cheese its name, because it is not in any of the three permitted counties. The Parish of Stilton applied for an amendment to the Stilton PDO but was unsuccessful. All of this was not decided by the EU but by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Today Stilton cheese is exported to USA but not to the EU because of lacking Export Health Certificates.

    • @realhorrorshow8547

    She didn't say what here favorite blue cheese is :) It would probably be a race between the French and Italian ones. But I have to say, I have a soft spot for English cheeses. There is something precious about the crumblier texture and the deeper flavors. As a teenager I'd often sit with my parents after coming home from visiting friends, joining them for some cheese and wine before bed. My father loved the raw-milk cheeses, but my mother cursed him for their stinkiness. It was nice, we got to talk more than during the busy day. People should see eating as communication again, not just slinging down their meal.

      I might be an American local yokal, but Stilton is better than Stichelton, or any French Blue. It's like eating dehydrated butter with veins of blue mold. Stichelton has more of a dirt flavor to it, although the piece I was eating might have been "well-aged." If I were to buy a French cheese, I would rather buy some Camembert, or a wheel of Vacherous. French Blues are far too acrid for me to enjoy. I like buttery cheeses, what can I say.

      If you find French blues acrid, you probably got your hand on Roquefort, the strongest one, or Bleu de Gex. In case of, there's over a dozen of Blues here, if you come to baguette-land (again maybe?), I advice to give a try to an artisanal Fourme d'Ambert or Montbrison, or a Bleu de Bresse.

    This is the only English blue cheese that I eat. So glad somebody revived this type of cheese made from raw milk even though I wince a little when I see the price! A story: sometime in the mid eighties I acquired the late Major Patrick Rance’s book on English cheeses, and was driven to visit his cheese emporium in Streetly on Thames; it was then that first tasted the fabled Stilton made by Colston Bassett, which was a completely different world from creamery Stilton I had previously eaten. It was in those days still made from raw milk, and what a difference. As my visit was shortly before Xmas, and I was so moved by the experience of the tasting, I bought a whole cheese! It lasted until February the following year and was, by that time a little ‘bitey’. I feel privileged to have experienced a very great British cheese; I don’t buy Colston Bassett Stilton any more..

    🤤 my inner Wallace is going crazy. My mouth is awash with anticipation to eat this cheese. Unfortunately, Canada is weird about importing unpasteurized cheeses, so I may never get to sample this delightful looking and sounding work of artisanal art

    I have never heard of this one, even though I live not far from Nottingham.
    The Leicester Handmade Cheese Co. (Sparkenhoe, near Bosworth), also make an unpasteurised stilton close look-and-tatste-alike - Sparkenhoe Blue. If you like rich and creamy blue cheese, it is fantastic. It would eat it in preference to most supermarket stilton, any day.

      To be honest, I live just south of Nottingham, and I have yet to find a reliable supplier. I only tend to get Stichelton when I go up to visit the Harley (an art gallery on the Welbeck estate, which also has a farm shop next to it). Still.. the Cropwell and Colston Stilton creameries are both in my local Borough..

    Ive had the pleasure of tasting the cheese. Its an experience for sure. You. see yellowish coloration in it which is the fat in the milk. The texture is different than any other bleu i have ever had. Its phenomenal. Very , very rich. an oz is hard to eat. Its truly a champion on any cheese plate

  • @kob8634
    @kob8634 Год назад +6

    It's nice to hear this described without all the usual pretentious bullshit that cheesemakers often rant on about. There is *so much* about this cheese that needs to be perfect, and *so much* that is just pure art, that no one needs bs about any part of it I guess. Anyway, this is a remarkable thing that they've committed to. Talk about contributing to the joy of life!

    I learned how to make cheddar when I was a child with my grandpa. It was a side thing he did when he got home from working in the oil refineries. It was just a hobby. He'd use raw milk from my uncle's cows. We didn't make it to make money, because we never made enough, but he did it because it was... well.... fun. He sold it at his church. Everyone loved it. This though? I can see its a labor of love. Sure its a business, but they're doing it because they LOVE it and I can appreciate that. Thanks for the video.
