Cheese is coming! As we prepare for the largest international festival dedicated to raw milk cheese, we present some of the Slow Food Presidia who'll be present. Today: Raw Milk Stichelton. In the counties of Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire, a round, blue cheese has been produced for centuries, weighing around 8 kg and never being pressed during the production process. It is made by using cylindrical molds that create its typical, elongated shape, and has a thick hard crust that is pale grey with dusty white patches. During its maturation the cheese is perforated to encourage the growth of the mold that give the cheese its characteristic flavor. In 1996 Stilton obtained PDO status from the European Union, but unfortunately the legislation anticipates the obligatory use of pasteurized milk during the cheese’s production, and the six major dairies, which together produce over a million cheeses a year, use a heat treatment during production that kills the original bacteria, deprive the cheese of its aromatic richness and traditional identity, owed to these same bacteria. There remains only one producer who uses raw milk and the traditional method, and it is precisely for this reason that the cheese cannot enter into the PDO and cannot be called the name that it is entitled to. Come to Bra for the 12th edition of Cheese, from September 20-23 and discover the biodiversity of cheese from around the world! All the details will be online from June 26 at Cheese.slowfood.it Photo: Slow Food Archive #cheese19 #rawmilk #stilton #stichelton #slowlife #biodiversity #slowfoodpresidia #slowfood #nealsyard #bluecheese #britishcheese

You might have tried blue cheese, but what about green?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sage Derby is a cow’s milk cheese infused with sage, producing a vivid green marbling effect and subtle herb flavour! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First produced in Derbyshire in the 17th century, Sage Derby is one of England’s oldest cheeses, initially made only for special occasions such as harvest time and Christmas but now available all year round ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To make the cheese, sprinkles of sage leaves are added to fresh curds and left to mature for a few months.
