Port & Stilton - A Match Made In Heaven!

Many dessert wines, such as Sherry and Madeira combine extremely well with cheese, but Port and Stilton is the classic wine and cheese combination that many people find irresistible!

The Classic Port & Stilton Combination

Port is the red wine traditionally made in the Douro valley in Portugal. It's a fortified wine which means grape spirit is mixed in to halt the fermentation process, to make it sweeter and give it a slightly higher alcohol content This means it's usually served as a dessert or an after dinner drink.

There are many kinds of Port wine, including Ruby Port, Vintage Port and Tawny Port, known as 'Colheita', which has a wonderful, smooth, nutty taste. All these Ports go well with cheese and with Stilton cheese in particular!

Port and Stilton cheese go so well together because there is a nice balance between the sweetness of the wine and the pungent saltiness of the creamy blue cheese. The wonderful flavours mingle in the mouth and keep you coming back for more.

Port can be served on its own, or with other accompaniments, such as a dessert, or with some roasted salted nuts. Culinary heaven however, is a combination of a premium quality Port wine and a beautifully smooth creamy cheese, with just a hint of saltiness!
