Stilton and Port

This famous and sublime pairing was originally brought together by the vagaries of English maritime history. English Stilton—a creamy blue with distinctive salty, nutty, meaty, and smoky flavors—meets its match in vintage port, originating in Portugal, with its equally luscious mouthfeel; sweet, ripe flavors; and full, high-octane body. The sweetness of the wine counteracts the saltiness of the cheese, and the pairing makes each bite or sip more entrancing.
