About Colston Basset ... Colston Bassett Stilton is produced with the curd being hand ladled before draining, which means the curd is handled gently and thus preserves its structure. Bottom line is a Stilton with a luscious, creamy texture when the cheese matures. The paste is crumbly when young, softening and darkening at the rind as it matures. It is a lovely creamy ivory colour with well-spread blue veining growing from the centre outwards. The aroma is sharply nutty and the flavor is full of mellow nuts and fruit. The flavor strengthens as it matures, hence the title, The king of cheeses! Especially good at Christmas, this is a real seasonal treat which has the same wonderful characteristics as its larger relation, but in a nice baby Truckle presentation, perfect for partys, celebrations and the festive season.
