Stilton from Colton Basset

Single Gloucester.

Couple others, but I don't remember their names. Sorry. I find that they seem to be incapable of choosing a dud. It's all a matter of what you like.

Neal's Colston Bassett Stilton is the best Stilton that I have ever tasted. So be decadent: Forget the warm season, turn up the air conditioning, and open a good Port to go with the Stilton.

I agree with Ian here- every Neal's Yard cheese I've tried has been top of the line. The Montgomery cheddar is better to me than the Keen's, but the Keen's is no slouch. Agree with Cwdjrx & Ian re the C. Bassett Stilton- best Stilton 've ever tried. Also impressed by the N.Yard Chesire, and a cheese I think was called Cutherstone?

Hi Mark

The Tymsboro goat's cheese is remarkable, especially if you let it sit a room temperature until it almost liquefies.

The Lanark Blue was very pleasant, as was an (Irish?) Milleens.

Thanks to all for your recommendations. I will continue to explore the bounty of Neal's Yard on my subsequent trips to Chicago.
