Iconic Cheeses
Paxton & Whitfield Stilton Jar is a distinctive presentation of traditional British Stilton, designed to combine practicality with the character of one of England’s most celebrated blue cheeses. The Stilton itself is a cow’s milk blue cheese with a dense yet creamy texture and well-defined blue veining developed during maturation.
Its flavour profile is rich and layered, balancing natural dairy sweetness with savoury depth, gentle saltiness and the characteristic spicy, earthy notes of blue mould. Presented in a ceramic or glass-style jar, this format helps protect the cheese while also making it suitable for gifting and convenient serving.
The jar format reflects Paxton & Whitfield’s heritage approach, offering a classic cheese in a form that emphasises preservation, presentation and ease of enjoyment.
