A generous 950g portion of PDO-certified Stilton from one of only six dairies in the world licensed to make it. Crumbly yet creamy, with characteristic tangy blue-green veining and a bold, expressive flavour. Long Clawson is a genuine peer of Colston Bassett — a producer operating under the strict PDO rules, using milk from local farmers in the Vale of Belvoir for over 100 years. Their Stilton has been named UK Supreme Champion at the Global Cheese Awards, so you are getting serious, competition-grade quality here. Where Colston Bassett tends toward a silkier, more buttery texture, Long Clawson delivers a slightly more crumbly and assertively flavoured Stilton — still very much in the same taste world, but with its own confident character. An ideal alternative if you want to explore the full breadth of what great Stilton can be.

A rare organic blue from a small Welsh farmhouse creamery, made with Penicillium Roqueforti on organic cow's milk. Pale gold rind, yellow paste with blue-green veining, and a creamy, gently salty flavour that deepens beautifully with maturity. If what draws you to Colston Bassett Stilton is the craft, the provenance, and the creamy-yet-complex blue character, Perl Las will speak the same language — just with a distinct Welsh accent. Made at Glyneithinog Farm in West Wales by a small family creamery, it shares Stilton's philosophy of slow, careful, traditional cheesemaking, but offers a softer, more delicate blue profile. Think of it as a discovery rather than a substitute: where Stilton is bold and declarative, Perl Las is quieter and more nuanced — organically made, with a gentler salinity that lets the milk shine. It's the kind of cheese that rewards the curious Stilton lover who wants to see where the blue cheese world goes beyond Nottinghamshire.
