Advantages: English, tasty and nutritious

Disadvantages: Almost addictive

I bought my Stilton from my Tesco metro and much to my pleasant surprise it was only £1.24 for a rather large 228g block. I went for the English blue Stilton. A classic for the cheese board.

THE PACKAGE

The cheese came in a triangular plastic container with the Tesco logo stamped on it. Its cover is packed with useful information. The pricing includes advice on its cost per kilograms (£5.44) or per pound (£2.47). Storage information i.e. keep refrigerated, in this state you can keep the product for another 13 days.

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATIONAL

Worth noting the cheese per 100g has 22.7g of protein, 23.5g of saturated fat surprisingly low compared to the other cheeses I have reviewed , 0.9g of sodium and no fibre - this cheese is for taste not for nutrition.

The product is suitable for vegetarians and contains cows milk. produced in the UK.

THE EXPERIENCE

The cheese is sold as a delicious creamy blue cheese with blue veins for fuller flavour, on its own it certainly is. I found it on the strong side of mellow (which is why I bought it) with a tanginess. A little to salty especially towards the end of the mouthful. Also a little to much on the sharp side of mellow this is probably due to the lack of experience I have with the cheese. It goes well with a Tesco cream cracker, this adds a little body. Serving suggestions recommend serving with port if only I could afford it.

Summary: Creamy and mellow, a very British cheese.
