The cheese is now exclusively made with vegetarian rennet, and is simply bound in cloth, rather than being buttered, alongside a focus on the use of more traditional starter cultures. To reflect these changes they felt it only right to change the name of the cheese from Old Roan, to Yoredale.

The cheese is individually and professionally wrapped (others seem to vacuum pack), the delivery was excellent and the cheese is just fantastic. Particularly a huge fan of the Stilton and the Cave Aged Cheddar - a big round of applause for both of those! Beautiful cheese, perfectly delivered.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere has always been a degree of uncertainty about the evolution of Stilton Cheese, but thanks to extensive research we now have a clearer knowledge of the origins and how Stilton Cheese evolved. 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. Once curds have formed, the whey is drained and the curds are hand ladled from the vat to the 'table' where they settle overnight. 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":"english-cheese-feast","title":"English Cheese Feast","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"270\" data-start=\"246\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"270\" data-start=\"246\"\u003eEnglish Cheese Feast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"624\" data-start=\"272\"\u003eA true celebration of British cheesemaking, the \u003cstrong data-end=\"344\" data-start=\"320\"\u003eEnglish Cheese Feast\u003c\/strong\u003e showcases seven exceptional cheeses that highlight the craftsmanship, regional diversity, and character of modern English dairies.

The word Yarg is simply their surname 'Gray' spelt backwards! The inspiration for this unique cheese came from a 17th century recipe for nettle wrapped cheese found in their attic. In 1984 they sold the recipe to Michael and Margaret Horrell who farmed near Bodmin. The business steadily grew and in 1995 the Horrell family met with the Mead family who were farming in West Cornwall and interested in farm diversification. Catherine Mead worked alongside them to develop the business and in 2006 all production moved entirely to the Mead family farm. Owned by Catherine Mead, Lynher Dairies is now processing 2,000,000 litres of milk a year and making just over 220 tonnes of cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCornish Yarg is very unique due to the handpicked nettle leaves which coat the rind. Three tonnes of nettle leaves are picked during May and June by a team of 50 hand pickers. Cheeses which are made at the time of picking are then wrapped with fresh leaves and the rest of the leaves are then frozen in bundles until they are ready to be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cheese making process is done by hand using the farm's milk and grass rich milk from carefully selected local Cornish farms. After the milk is pasteurised, a culture is added for ripening and rennet to help the curd set. Once set it is cut and stirred to separate the curd from the whey until each curd piece is as small as a grain of rice, this increases acidity and fermentation. The curd is then milled, blocked and hand packed into moulds, after which the cheese is pressed and immersed in brine overnight. After drying, the nettle leaves are painted on by hand in a concentric circle pattern. Yarg takes about 4-5 weeks to mature, by which time a beautiful white bloom decorates the nettles from naturally occurring moulds attracted to the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the cheese matures, it develops a delicate, mushroomy taste and a bloomy white appearance. Six weeks from field to finish, Yarg is fresh and creamy with an irresistible crumble in the core. The semi-hard rind is completely edible and adds an earthy, mushroomy flavour to the cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAwarded Silver at British Cheese Awards 2024.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAwarded Gold at The World Cheese Awards 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA consistent medal-winning cheese for many years, also being awarded two gold medals at the British Cheese Awards 2018.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paxton \u0026 Whitfield","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":55121811308929,"sku":"133","price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":49298302566722,"sku":"133","price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"750g","offer_id":49298302599490,"sku":"133","price":28.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":49298302632258,"sku":"133","price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3327\/2130\/files\/CornishYarg.jpg?v=1761214297"},{"product_id":"golden-cross","title":"Golden Cross","description":"\u003cp\u003eGolden Cross is made by Kevin \u0026amp; Alison Blunt of Golden Cross cheese in East Sussex.

By and large, in France they work very much within the AOC naming system – as such there will be many makers of Comte, Roquefort, Camembert de Normandie etc etc etc, and our job as mongers is to seek out the very best maker of these iconic cheeses. In the UK, with a couple of notable exceptions like Cheddar or Stilton, cheeses tend to be made by a single farm, dairy or family. This means that when those makers no longer want to continue, for example they would like to retire, we face the very real possibility of losing that cheese for forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eBarkham Blue has been produced by the Rose family in Berkshire for over 20 years, winning many awards for this unique ammonite shaped blue cheese. Recently, they took the decision that it was time for them to ‘hang up their aprons’ and explore new adventures. However, we are absolutely thrilled that rather than lose this cheese to the midst of time, Barkham Blue will be returning to our counters! Cheesemaking must be in the blood for this family, as Sandy Rose’s cousin is none other that Anne Wigmore of Village Maid Cheese. The Wigmore family recently started making Barkham Blue alongside their stalwart cheeses Waterloo, Wigmore and Maida Vale and we are confident that it will be as delicious as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eBarkham Blue is produced with milk from Channel Island cows. Sandy’s father had farmed this breed and the origin of the recipe was based on her desire to make a cheese specifically from this incredibly rich and golden milk – no mean feat for a blue cheese, where fatty rich milk can cause a few hurdles in cheese make. It’s a milk that the Wigmore family also use in their Waterloo cheese and are very comfortable working with.

In the early days Ruth and husband John started the day with the first milking of their herd and then the milk was pumped straight into a small vat in their little dairy next door. This was then turned into cheese. They had only two presses and would make four 20kg cheeses a day and these were waxed and sold monthly to a wholesaler. After the demise of Mrs Kirkhams's original wholesaler in the mid eighties, she started to supply customers directly and also changed the finished coating of her cheeses from wax to cloth bound and then buttered them.
