Cropwell Bishop Organic Stilton 250g
£9.00
Cropwell Bishop Organic Stilton is the ‘king’ of blue cheese and surprisingly Cropwell Bishop is still the only Stilton maker to produce a certified organic Stilton. The organic cows’ milk gives a mellow flavour with the same strong blue veins expected in any Stilton. It is rich and masterful, what is not to love! Like all Cropwell Bishop Stiltons their organic Stilton is matured for 12 weeks. Delicious at Christmas, but in our view a stunning Stilton for any time of the year.
Enjoy with a delicious port, see recommendations below.
Sold in 250g. If you would like a larger wedge please use multiples of this (ie 500g = 2 x 250g) and leave a note at checkout.

Cropwell Bishop Organic Stilton – Cow’s Milk – Pasteurised – Vegetarian (NOTTINGHAMSHIRE)
This organic Blue Stilton is slow-ripened for deep, savoury flavour and a soft crumble.
The UK’s only organic Stilton, it’s handmade using traditional methods and matured to create rich umami depth, creamy texture and bold blue veining. A festive essential for cheeseboards, gifts, or pairing with port. The Skailes family have been part of British cheesemaking for more than 160 years, with their story beginning in 1847 and eventually settling in the small Nottinghamshire village of Cropwell Bishop.
The creamery is still proudly family-run today, and is one of only a handful licensed to make true, PDO-protected Stilton (Protected Designation of Origin).
