Product Description
Long known as "The King of Cheeses", blue Stilton is one a handful of British cheeses granted the status of a "protected designation origin" (PDO) by the European Commission. Only cheese produced in the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire and made according to a strict code may be called Stilton. There are just six dairies licensed to make Stilton, each being subject to regular audit by an independent inspection agency accredited to European Standard EN 45011. To be called Stilton, a cheese must: be made only in the three counties from local milk which is pasteurized before use be made only in a traditional cylindrical shape be allowed to form its own crust or coat be un-pressed have delicate blue veins radiating from the center have a taste profile typical of StiltonMade by the Long Clawson dairy, this product is perfect for snacking and as a part of the cheese course, but also is a wonderful cheese for salads and cooking.

The product arrived within the designated time but the cool packs surrounding the cheese were no longer cool. Inside was a leaflet stating that if this happens then it's no problem essentially and the cheese is still good which may be the case but I would have felt more assured by this product had it arrived cold. I had no idea how long the cheese was left out (non-cold). Other food distributors can manage to deliver their products still cold, why not igourmet?
I was particularly annoyed by this as the shipping for this item was so high.
I will not order anything that's fresh from igourmet again simply for this reason.
