Stilton is not a "pressed cheese" - the curds are allowed to settle naturally in the hoops or forms and it is therefore open textured and slightly fragile.
In making Stilton, the cheese sits for at least five weeks before it is pierced with stainless steel needles to let the air in, allowing the blue to develop from the penicillium roquefortii culture which was added to the milk in the vat.
Finally, Stilton is one of the few cheeses in the world which is turned every day since the curds are not pressed to drain the moisture off and the moisture has to be evenly distributed.
