Traditional Animal Rennet

Unpasteurised cows milk

Stichelton is a new cheese made from unpasteurised organic cows milk by Joe Schneider at Collingthwaite Farm on the Welbeck Estate. It is a blue cheese in the traditional English vein and its recipe calls for very small quantities of starter and rennet. The resulting delicate curd is hand-ladled from the vat to drain and acidify overnight. Flavours are fruity and appley with underlying nutty toasty notes and a long lasting savouriness with a spicy element from the blue mould. The flavours expand and develop in your mouth and last long after swallowing. The texture is rich, soft and creamy.
