Texts from the 19th and 20th Century suggest Stilton cheese has never been made in the village of Stilton, but was first sold here. One theory is that a lady called Frances Pawlett, a renowned cheesemaker from Wymondham, near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire supplied blue veined cheese to Cooper Thornhill, the landlord of the Bell Inn in the village of Stilton in the 1740s. There has also been evidence to suggest that a harder, creamy cheese was being made and sold in and around the village of Stilton during the 17th and 18th centuries. Either way, it is clear that the origins of Stilton can be traced back to the Melton Mowbray area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch was the popularity of Stilton that others in the area started to produce cheeses similar in style and in 1910, the producers had the foresight to lay down methods known today as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). Amongst other things, the PDO specifies that the cheese has to be made with pasteurised milk within the counties of Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire. Paxton \u0026amp; Whitfield Stilton is made by Cropwell Bishop in Nottinghamshire and comprises cheeses that have been graded and chosen to meet the flavour and texture profiles specified by us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe milk used to make Stilton is a blend of morning and evening milk to which starter culture, rennet and blue mould culture is added.

The following day, the curds are milled, salted and transferred by hand into cylindrical moulds. After a week when the cheeses have started to develop, they are taken out of the moulds and the rind is smoothed down. They remain in the ripening room for a further four weeks before they are pierced with stainless steel needles to encourage air to reach the interior of the cheese to spread the growth of the characteristic blue veining. Paxton \u0026amp; Whitfield cheese is then matured to approximately twelve weeks before arriving to our shops to be sold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture is creamy and the flavour mellow, with a buttery richness that melts in the mouth. Stilton in prime condition has a grey, wrinkly crust and the inside should be creamy yellow with an even spread of blue-green veins. The strength of the flavour should not be overpowering, but have a pleasant, herby tang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur P\u0026amp;W Vintage Port is a perfect match for Stilton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: left;\" height=\"91\" width=\"87\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3327\/2130\/files\/Untitled-5.png?v=1725285850\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a specialist cheese which is made to exacting specifications regarding geography, milk source and recipe, earning it a coveted Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paxton \u0026 Whitfield","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":55122022334849,"sku":"160","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":49298274353474,"sku":"160","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"750g","offer_id":49298274386242,"sku":"160","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":49298274419010,"sku":"160","price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3327\/2130\/files\/Stilton.jpg?v=1761211707"},{"product_id":"the-cheese-life","title":"The Cheese Life","description":"\u003ch3\u003eCheese is not just a food, it is a way of life!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDivided into Grill, Melt, Bake, Grate and Slice, The Cheese Life celebrates the new wave of artisan cheeses sweeping the globe with gloriously gooey recipes and inventive cheeseboards, as well as insights into how cheese is made, killer drinks matches and interviews with the people that work on the front line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom how to make the ultimate fondue to the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, the recipes include feta and tomato tart, five cheese macaroni, smoked mozzarella sticks and cheeseboard accompaniments such as bacon jam and poached pears.

Each little log is dusted with ash before developing a fine, wrinkled Geotrichum rind as it matures. The resulting grey-black surface is said to resemble the weathered bark of a piece of driftwood. Beneath this unusual exterior lies a beautifully smooth, close-textured cheese with a fresh, creamy character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, Driftwood offers a lovely balance of citrusy brightness and gentle saltiness. Fresh lemon notes are accompanied by subtle earthy and peppery flavours, which become more pronounced as the cheese matures. The texture also changes with age, softening beneath the rind while retaining a slightly firmer, more delicate centre.

With time, Langres became the object of a flourishing market and traders bought the cheese fresh from the farmers and matured it themselves, exporting it to Paris or Geneva.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn its original production, Langres was made simply, with rennet being added to the milk when it was still tepid and then left to curdle in stoneware pots.  Once curdled, the cheese was formed and drained in terracotta moulds where they formed their distinctive truncated shape.  The cheese were taken out of the moulds and left to dry on plane tree leaves in wicker cages, where the cheeses were never turned, but left until the natural moulds formed colours on the rind.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese days, the cheese is made in the region of Bassigny, mostly by small dairies as opposed to the traditional  farms. It is wrapped in marked paper instead of plane leaves, but is still highly regarded in gastronomic  terms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg height=\"93\" width=\"89\" style=\"float: left;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3327\/2130\/files\/Untitled-6.png?v=1725286474\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1991, the cheese became protected, and now has a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) as an indication that the cheese is produced using an ancestral savoir-faire in a specific region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paxton \u0026 Whitfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49298303025474,"sku":"565","price":10.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3327\/2130\/files\/Langres.jpg?v=1761213483"},{"product_id":"the-kensington-hamper","title":"The Kensington Cheese \u0026 Wine Hamper","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Kensington\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenerous and beautifully balanced, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Kensington\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e brings together five artisan cheeses, sparkling wine and a carefully chosen selection of sweet and savoury accompaniments.

The centre of the Brie is then spread with a luxurious combination of minced black truffles and Brillat Savarin, sandwiched back together and left to infuse. We use a young Brillat Savarin, where the cheese has yet to grow a rind - think the most heavenly and indulgent cream cheese in the world. We've experimented with cream cheese, marscapone and other fresh cheeses and we think the richness of the Brillat is the perfect partnership for the truffles. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finished Brie aux Truffes is rich and indulgent, with a heady truffle aroma and deeply satisfying umaminess.

In order to safeguard the cheeses production according to ancestral tradition, Tête de Moine was granted protected designation of origin status (or AOP) in 2013 and is currently produced by fewer than 10 cheese dairies of the Jura Mountains area. The cheese is produced from the natural, raw milk of cows fed without silage feed and according to the stringent requirements of the AOP specifications, for example, the use of additives in the cheese production is strictly prohibited. During its maturity period it is kept on spruce wood boards for at least two and a half months which help to develop its unique flavour. Only cheese that passes the strict quality tests may bear the name Tête de Moine AOP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutty and fruity with savoury notes of herbaceous mountains, Tête de Moine goes well with fresh fruits or can also be melted over hot new potatoes for a tasty lunch or supper dish as you would Raclette cheese.
