Stilton
Veined British wedge
Stilton is a rich, crumbly English cheese with blue-green veins of mold running through it.
The flavor is strong and tangy, mellowing with age.
Stilton is traditionally served with port wine or crackers, especially around Christmas: a wedge of Stilton with walnuts.
Only cheese produced in certain English counties can legally bear the name.
