Stilton comes in two forms

1) White Stilton

2) Blue Stilton

Blue Stilton is made the same way as White Stilton but the cheese curds have a mould (Penicillium roquefortii) added to them during manufacture and the cheese is kept for the mould to grow in the cheese. This gives Blue Stilton a marbling of blue veins running through it and a lovely creamy taste. The blue veining gives Blue Stilton its name. Only seven dairies, using the original centuries-old recipe, are licensed to produce the creamy ivory-hued king of cheeses. So esteemed is Stilton's unique flavour and texture, it is the only British cheese graced with its own certification trademark.
