Made by hand at our family dairy in the Nottinghamshire village of Cropwell Bishop, our range includes Blue Stilton, Organic Blue Stilton, White Stilton, Blue Shropshire and Beauvale. All our cheese is made using fresh milk from small family farms that we know and trust, and whose cows graze the lush Peak District pasture. We’re incredibly passionate about our cheese are proud to be one of the last remaining family Stilton-makers in the county.
We make three types of Blue Stilton at Cropwell Bishop Creamery, along with White Stilton, Blue Shropshire and Beauvale.
Our classic Blue Stilton is made with vegetarian rennet and 78 litres of fresh, local milk. In 2023 this cheese was given the highest possible 3 star Great Taste Award and was awarded Reserve UK Champion at the International Cheese Awards.
Our traditional rennet Blue Stilton has history. Its special hand-ladled recipe was first used at our North Street Dairy in Melton Mowbray during the 1950s. Today, we continue to use traditional rennet to create this delicious, silky-smooth cheese.
We're currently the only Stilton maker to produce an organic Stilton, and this cheese is certified by the Soil Association – a guarantee that it meets their exacting organic standards.
