food and drink barbecues and grillingHow do you serve port and Stilton?
Keeping this in consideration, how do you serve a whole Stilton?
Simply cut into easy to handle portions, wrap in cling film or foil and freeze for up to 3 months. De-frost slowly – preferably in the fridge overnight. Allow to reach room temperature before serving. Stilton crumbles effortlessly for use in salads, soups and dips.
Similarly one may ask, what goes well with Stilton?
Sweet wines such as Port go well with Stilton, as do fruity chutneys such as mango. As it crumbles easily, Stilton also works well in salads and soups; Paul Foster pairs it with chicory in his wintry Stilton and chicory salad .
These include serving young Vintage Port with fish based dishes such as roasted wrasse and smoked eel, drinking mature Vintages with delicate meat dishes such as braised ox cheek and young venison ribs and offering the 20 and 30 year old Tawnies alongside cod fish or pigeon based dishes.
