The Stilton cheese is an English blue cheese that is made from the whole milk of cows and then aged from four to five months, becoming more flavorful with age. Crumbly, Stilton is rich and creamy with a light tangy nutty flavor.

Burning Nettle Gouda - Pairs with 2009 Amoureux Chardonnay
Seasonal Burning Nettle Melange Gouda is a smooth, creamy cheese with a slightly sweet, nutty flavor that becomes more complex as it ages. A special mixture of all-natural herbs are specially balanced to enhance the flavor of the Gouda while not tending to overpower.
