Stichelton is like Stilton, only made with raw milk and eschewing factory-produced rennet. It's made in the same area. In fact, Stichelton is the ancient name of Stilton village. The guy who runs Neal's Yard is one of the producers. In the 1980s we used to get a lot of cheese from Llangloffan dairy in Pembrokeshire. We saw the mighty Leon Downey making it by hand. It was superb cheese, made from the milk of his own dozen or so cows (I think they were Jerseys). He retired some years ago but the cheese is still made. I haven't tried it recently.
