Have you been in yet?? 🧀💙
Robin’s been busy cutting into a beautiful wheel for Stilton Week (10th–18th October), and we think this magnificent British cheese deserves a little appreciation for more than just its incredible flavour!
🤓 A few cheesy facts for you:
💪 Packed with protein – helps your body build and repair muscles. Who needs a protein shake when there’s cheese on the menu?
🦴 Good for your bones – Stilton provides calcium, which helps keep bones and teeth strong.
🧠 A source of vitamin B12 – important for your nervous system and making healthy red blood cells.
🦠 Made with cultures – the special mould that gives Stilton its distinctive blue veins is part of what makes this cheese so wonderfully unique. Although it’s made using cultures, don’t assume it’s a probiotic miracle food!
❤️ A little goes a long way – its rich, punchy flavour means a small piece can add bags of character to a meal. Handy, as Stilton is also relatively high in salt and saturated fat!
And let’s be honest… sometimes the biggest benefit of Stilton is simply that it makes a cracking cheese board!
Try it crumbled over a pear and walnut salad, melted into a creamy sauce, or served with a drizzle of honey and a glass of something lovely.
