White Stilton with Apricots

So now we're into the world of Stilton that isn't blue cheese. White Stilton was created as a base cheese that different flavorings, specifically fruits, could be added to. This is a rindless, dense, firm cheese that is sort of, I guess I would call it a cheddarish-based recipe, but it is not sharp like a cheddar. The flavor here is about the additive. It's not about the cheese. The cheese is milled, it's ground up and the fruit is added to that mixture. So you're really getting all of the flavor here from the fruit. Additionally, yeah, I really get a sweetness as well. It's very typical that sugar will be added, in this case fructose. I'll be totally honest, I don't get the appeal of these cheeses, but people really love them. I don't feel like I'm eating a cheese. I feel like I'm eating some sort of cheese-cakey dessert situation. So I would say, if that appeals to you, you can get some at Trader Joe's.
