My very favorite is white Stilton with mango and ginger. It’s the time of year Costco offers it I have to check.

Stilton and Port wine is classic.

“Stilton is among the world’s best-known cheeses.”

Uh, no it is not.

Chateau Yvonne Saumur-Champigny L’Ile Quatre Sous 2021, a Cabernet Franc, would be a good paring

[Steely Tom]

Uh, no it is not.

Well, it was the sixth cheese type requested by John Cleese in the Monty Python "Cheese Shop" skit.

After Red Leicester, Tilsit, Caerphilly, Bel Paese, and Red Windsor.

Ah, ha! You gotta love Monty Python!
Of course, I’m a hill jack and have never heard of any of those cheeses.

Boone’s Farm?

I think it’s aged out of the top running.

“Boone’s Farm?”

LOL! Is BF even around these days? The last time I drank any BF was in high school in the 1960s. BF is a Gallo (California) brand, and was popular in California back in those days.

I bought some white Stilton at Aldi. Never had it before, it was pretty good!

[Churchillspirit]

Absolutely.

I was stationed at RAF Alconbury ‘73-75. Made many trips to Stilton and sampled lots cheeses. A bottle of cheap Spanish Rosa paired perfectly, along with some fresh warm bread. Ahhh….🧀🍷🥖

I love stilton. It pairs well with fruit and a nice port for an after dinner healthy dessert.

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.
