stilton cheese

Stilton is an English cheese, produced in two varieties — Blue, known for its characteristic strong smell and taste, and the lesser-known White. Both have been granted the status of a protected designation of origin (PDO) by the European Commission, which requires that only cheese produced in the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire and made according to a strict code may be called "Stilton". Thus, cheese made in the village of Stilton, which is now in Cambridgeshire (from where its name was derived in the 18th century), could not be sold as "Stilton".
