Yes, white stilton with apricots is safe during pregnancy! You will read to avoid stilton cheese. This statement, in my opinion, is too general because there is a big difference between blue stilton and white stilton. First of all, all stilton cheese comes from pasteurized milk. The difference between blue and white stilton can be seen when it is manufactured and matured. Very early in the making of blue stilton, blue mold is added to the mixture. White stilton DOES NOT have blue mold added to the mixture. The feeling is that mold ripened cheeses are typically softer and offer a good environment for harmful bacteria like listeria to grow. So, because white stilton is pasteurized and is not mold ripened, it is safe in pregnancy!
