THE PROPER WAY TO CUT STILTON  
     
   
     
  The enjoyment of a perfect Stilton can only be achieved by the horizontal slicing of the cheese. This retains the freshness and moisture of the cheese right down to the bottom.

The tradition of scooping the cheese out must only be used with an old highly pungent Stilton which has already dried out from the outside. Scooping reaches the moist centre of the cheese allowing the eater to leave the drier outer layer. Port can then be poured into the hollowed out cheese to moisten what is left.

To scoop out a good Stilton is sacrilege. Let the Port and cheese only meet on your palate!
