Stilton wins Nantwich 2014

A blue Stilton from Colston Bassett Dairy has been awarded Supreme Champion prize at the International Cheese Awards at Nantwich.

The dairy also won Best Blue and Supreme Champion at the Great Yorkshire Show with their Stilton this year.

This is a cheese I intend to buy some time.

Blacksticks Premier Cru

Our latest new cheese was Blacksticks Premier Cru from Sainsburys. We have tried other Blacksticks cheeses before - Blacksticks Blue being the most recent one.

The Premier Cru was made using Jersey milk, which gave it a golden, buttery colour. It was a creamy cheese. It had a mild taste in the centre, but a more peppery taste towards the outer edges.

The photo shows Blacksticks Premier Cru served on Nairns oatcakes.
