The genuine English Stilton - ie cheese made using the traditional methods by six cheesemakers,including Colston Bassett, Cropwell Bishop, Long Clawson etc - has changed significantly in recent years, and not for the better.It always used to be made using raw (ie unpasteurised) milk. Some years ago there was a collective agreement by the producers to switch to pasteurised milk, and the cheese lost a lot of its special qualities.

Now, however, a new variety has emerged reverting to the traditional unpasteursied milk methods, using the original bacillus culture. For trademark reasons, it can't be sold as 'Stilton', so it's called Stichelton. Very good it is, too - back to the 'true' Stilton flavour.
