Paxton & Whitfield Colston Bassett Stilton

Colston Bassett is an award-winning blue Stilton cheese that is creamy in colour and has blue veins running throughout. The texture of this delightful cheese is smooth with an enjoyable mellow flavour, without a sharp acidic taste.

Hand-made by Billy Kevan and his team in Nottinghamshire, Colston Bassett Stilton is one of the last remaining hand-ladled Stiltons. Colston Bassett dairy has been making cheese for over one hundred years and the farming co-operative, which was first established in 1913, is still in operation today.

Like all great Stilton's, Colston Bassett pairs perfectly with Port. We recommend our Paxton & Whitfield Tawny Port.

Colston Basset Stilton is one of the few Stilton cheeses that has received PDO status, meaning it must be made in designated areas of England (Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire) to be labelled as Stilton.
