Many of us have not heard what Stilton is, let alone why it should be served with wine and what wine it can be served with. Here is a little enlightenment on the subject.
Stilton is a type of blue cheese. It is made from cow's milk and has a semi-soft texture. Its maturation period is at least 9 weeks and the fat content is about 35%. This is actually the only British blue cheese that also has its own certified brand.
Like most cheeses, it is among the perfect appetizers for wine. However, the question arises as to what the wine should be - whether it is white, red or rosé, whether it is table or dessert, whether it is flavored, naturally sweet or liqueur, etc. Here are the most suitable options that you can choose when you are wondering what wine to serve Stilton:
