Googleing is a good option, or you may read here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stilton_cheese) and here (http://www.stiltoncheese.com/).

thank you alex
i now know lots about stilton :)

i guess the cheeses named at the start of my opening topic are just a guid? to what yield you will get http://www.cheeseforum.org/Making/Milk%20-%20Yield.htm (http://www.cheeseforum.org/Making/Milk%20-%20Yield.htm)

i guess for other cheeses would fall under one of the named cheeses so to work out a ruff guid to what yeild i would get when making stilton what would the closest thing be? Gouda & Cheddar thanks again alex
