Colston Bassett Dairy was established in Nottinghamshire, England as a local farmers cooperative in 1913 with the specific intention of making Stilton. The dairy makes every effort to keep all aspects of production as close to traditional practices as possible including only hand ladeling curds. The dairy sources milk from a small group of nearby farms within close proximity, maintaining a strong focus on locality, consistency, and quality. With over a century of continuous production and only a handful of master cheesemakers in its history, Colston Basset is widely regarded as one of the finest producers of Stilton in the UK.
