A quick update. It has been 8 weeks now since I made this Stilton. I am sorry to say that the two little ones are gone. I thought I would see how the blue is coming along in the last one. A little blue inside but not much so I periced it a second time and back into the cave.

So you ate the little ones , how were they , what age did you let them ripen to?

What is the weight of the big one , I have a blue going myself and am just wondering what to expect.

They look great!

Cheers , Jim.

Both small ones are gone. I started trying them @ 5 weeks and they had very nice  blue veining all the way through, a nice blue flavour and very creamy They were only 750g each so they didn't last long :'(. The large Stilton is just over 2kg. My cave is on the cool side so it takes a little longer.
