Unable to buy White Stilton cheese

Why am I not able to buy White Stilton at my local whitely store?  Thinking it was because there was no deli counter; I took myself to the nearest Tesco Extra, went to the deli counter and was told 'No because no one wants it'.

It seems ludicrous to me that I can buy White Stilton cheese with apricots or cranberries at either the deli or pre-packed and even rhubarb with champagne as pre-packed.  What's the point of duplicate items?  It seems you have lost sight of the basic cheese and filled your shelves knee deep in the others.  What happened to full choice especially at the deli counter?  Now I shall have to visit Salisbury's and while there do the rest of my shopping!

I've requested a basic White Stilton cheese over and over again at all my main supermarkets but to no avail.  I think this has more to do with the manufacturers trying to create a demand for the White Stilton blends instead.

Various cheeses - where can you buy basic white stilton? Personally I hate these blends - and I've tried a fair few in desperation!  There is nothing that can beat a basic White Stilton cheese served with fresh fruit.  I recently tried to purchase from a cheese manufacturer's website where they specialize in Stilton cheeses.  They produce White Stilton in various sizes and I thought I was onto a winner when I found they had an online shop for their cheeses.  Unfortunately they only sell their Blue Stilton’s and White Stilton blends here.  Aaaaargh!

I stock white stilton on my deli counter in the Budgens in Woodhall spa. I agree that the flavoured cheeses are awful. I stock flavoured wensleydales as they are popular and it is a business but I just love the purity of unadulterated white stilton.

Long Clawson do a white stilton which is sold by this company but the minimum online amount is £20 plus p&p. It is the same place found by MizzT but I think this link will work.

I agree, it is VERY difficult to find white stilton. Every year I have the same problem. Last year my son who live in Cambridge got me some. It is really good with Christmas cake. I still hope to get some.

I've been having the same problem. My stepdad loves white stilton and I thought I was doing well when the cheese stall on our local market had. Sadly it turned out to be Wendsleydale! However, I have just found the following site so I hope this solves all your white stilton seeking problems. But please don't all rush and order some straight away in case they sell out before I get my order in!

I would love to know, like you, where I can buy unadulterated white stilton. I am looking for a mail order company since I've given up on supermarkets. If anyone out there can help I'll be so grateful! I will try approaching the blue stilton makers as someone suggests here

Yes! A friend and I have been asking round for White Stilton, both at large supermarkets and specialised shops. No luck. Yet unadulterated White Stilton is such a joy. I wish my local Tesco would stock it.

I never buy cheese from a supermarket either. Only from farmer's markets and speciallist cheese shops.

I agree with you but am pleased to say that I have recently been able to get it at the deli counter at Sainsbury's in Liverpool.

I have relatives in Chesterfield, Derbyshire and when I visit I can buy unadulterated white stilton at the local Sainsbury's. However when I try to buy it where I live in Surrey the local Sainsbury does not stock it. Why - who knows?

I work on a Tesco deli counter and we have always had white Stilton... so I am quite surprised to hear this!

White Stilton, is traditionally 10 day old Blue Stilton which still has the same blue mould culture added. If you visit the manufacturers directly you may find you can purchase a small cheese 2 - 3 Kg in size, the manufacturer won't cut a cheese for you as the demand for the remaining piece is so low it wiould be wasted.

Please do enlighten us Flo with you're knowledge of White Stilton cheese production. I for one am a fan of the stuff. So typical of the big supermarkets pandering to the whims of the majority and putting the quick buck before providing an interesting choice for customers. Is this how it must all end?
