Introducing the Christmas cheese box with traditional Stilton at its heart

As many turn to the classics as they plan their festive feasts, Mons Cheesemongers has built a Christmas cheeseboard that puts traditional Stilton® centre stage. 

A tribute to Britain's most quintessential festive cheese, The Stilton Selection features a very generous 1kg wedge of Colston Bassett Stilton®. Equivalent to an eighth of one of the dairy's full-sized truckles, this is the same world-renowned Stilton® that has been gracing Christmas tables since 1913, crafted using time-honoured handmade methods since production began at the Nottinghamshire-based dairy over a century ago.

This impressive wedge is presented alongside three hand-picked accompaniments, chosen by the acclaimed Mons Cheesemongers. Elegant in their simplicity, the pairings include organic Pimhill Oatcakes (150g), Salted Etrez Butter (250g) and Rosebud Preserves' Spiced Plum Chutney (198g), bringing together exceptional cheesemaking and cheesemongery in one festive selection.

Produced by Head Cheesemaker, Billy Kevan in the heartland of Stilton’s® Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) region, Colston Bassett Stilton® is made using milk from its co-operative of three farms located within just 1.5 miles of the cheesemaking facility. Starting with just five raw ingredients and the dairy’s original recipes, the highly skilled team hand ladles, salts and turns every cheese by hand, before individually grading each cheese for sale.

Made for a bold and simple cheeseboard at the end of a meal, or an easy serve option for guests over the festive period, The Stilton Selection contains enough for 10 servings.

The Stilton Selection is available to purchase from mons-cheese.co.uk, priced at £50.
