A famous British blue cheese with blue veins running through it, known for its strong taste and creamy texture.
Named after the village of Stilton in Cambridgeshire, England, where the cheese was historically sold in the 1700s, though it was made in nearby Leicestershire.
Stilton has a protected status in the UK like French Champagne—it can legally only be called 'Stilton cheese' if made in three English counties (Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire), and even the village of Stilton itself isn't allowed to make it anymore.
