The king of Cheeses! STILTON
Absolutely my favourite cheese. Blue, veiny ,crumbly, creamy......almost orgasmic.
It is far better than Rockefort and half the salt content, in fact the lowest salt of all the blue cheeses.
It has been around in England for over 300 years!
Long known as the king of cheeses it is one of a handful of British cheeses granted the status of a protected designation origin" (PDO) by the European Commission. Only cheese produced in the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire and made according to a strict code may be called Stilton. There are just six dairies that make it. A truly remarkable cheese.
Oh ..... sorry got carried away....the answer to your question is that Stilton will keep ok in the fridge for six weeks if wrapped. But unlike many other cheeses CAN be put in the freezer.
Defrost overnight or bring out of the fridge and allow to rise to room temp (68F)
