Well, for whatever that is worth. There is a lot of very bad Stilton on
the market. When you ever come across a good one (soft, creamy,
smooth spreading and bursting with the combination Cheddar/Blue
flavor) you will recognize it as a quality cheese. There is none I could
recommend as they all vary in an insane manner. You probably will
have to go to a cheesemonger who buys full forms and knows when
to cut them, altho the normal problem is that they are too old by the
time they get to the US. The stuff packed in crocks or by the wedge
in supermarkets is meretricious to the extreme, and to the dismay of
a world class cheese.
