Stilton

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Stilton

High-fat cheese (30–50% fat) with an internal blue mould; it is made from ripened whole milk and contains 33–35% water. It has a mellow flavour and is cured for four to six months. Stilton cheese is still made in and around Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, England, where it originated, but takes its name from a village in Cambridgeshire, 10 km/6 mi southwest of Peterborough; the cheeses were taken there in coaching days for transport to London.

Bring up the Stilton Cheese, and a bottle of the Old Madeira.
Elton was still talking, still engaged in some interesting detail; and Emma experienced some disappointment when she found that he was only giving his fair companion an account of the yesterday's party at his friend Cole's, and that she was come in herself for the Stilton cheese, the north Wiltshire, the butter, the cellery, the beetroot, and all the dessert.
Lorry observed to be all of a red colour, and to have red hair, and to be dressed in some extraordinary tight-fitting fashion, and to have on her head a most wonderful bonnet like a Grenadier wooden measure, and good measure too, or a great Stilton cheese, came running into the room in advance of the inn servants, and soon settled the question of his detachment from the poor young lady, by laying a brawny hand upon his chest, and sending him flying back against the nearest wall.
