Colston Bassett District Dairy make the most traditional Stilton in the UK. They remain the only creamery not to mechanise, hand-ladling their curd from the vat to the draining trolleys where it acidifies overnight.
This means they can use less rennet and that's essential for the melt-in-the-mouth creaminess of the matured cheese. Since the creamery was set up in the 1930s, there've been only 5 head cheesemakers - currently Billy Kevan - one reason for their continuity with traditional techniques. Their Stilton is savoury, creamy and cooling, with delicate blue veins.

Arrived on time, really well wrapped and in perfect condition. This is the second time I have dealt with them and it won't be the last. Cannot fault them in any way.
Great cheese, great service.
Fantastic flavour will buy more
Ordered for Christmas cheese board
Good selection and excellent cheese
The Colton Bassett was absolutely superb. It’s our favourite cheese, but this one was the best of the bunch. Flavourful, moist, creamy, with fantastic texture. Quite delish! We ordered five cheeses in total. All were great and the customer service really excellent - big shout out to Tom. Many thanks.
