Their commitment to sustainability and supporting traditional cheese-making methods has made them a vital link in preserving the authenticity of cheeses like Colston Bassett Stilton.

Pierced less than other blue cheeses, giving it a richer, creamier texture, pair this Stilton with a glass of full-bodied red wine, such as a Port or a robust Shiraz. Walnut bread, water crackers, or fresh slices of pear act as a delicious foundation for each bite. Finish with a dollop of fig chutney or a drizzle of honey for a sweet balance to its salty, robust profile.
