When one of my local cheese sources was out of Stilton before Christmas, they immediately suggested an alternative blue cheese, Whitestone Windsor Blue Cheese from New Zealand. It is is soft, almost creamy cheese with blue-gray tubes of mold. A really delicious cheese, though a bit expensive. Save it for a special occassion or for when your shop is out of Stilton.
