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.

Roquefort
Roquefort is a French cheese, aged in caves. It is produced using sheep's milk, and is AOC. It contains Penicillium roqueforti, which gives it the blue mould.
The Roquefort I had recently had a good, pungent taste. It was quite salty, and had the distinct taste of sheep from the milk. A very good cheese.
