Food pairing, walnuts and stilton.

Question:  Do you get proper Stilton imported over in America? Proper stilton from Derbyshire, Leicestershire or Nottinghamshire because the term stilton has protected status in the EU and can only be called stilton if it has been made in those locations, but I don't think it covers the Americas and Canada though.

I could be wrong, but I am sure it only covers the EU.

I need cheese info lololol

It is protected here, also.

In 1996, the SCMA achieved "Protected Designation of origin" status for Blue Stilton from the European Commission. Whereas certification trademarks had to be separately applied for in each EU country, the PDO effectively gave Stilton protection from imitation across the whole of the EU. In addition, over the years, the SCMA has been granted certification trademarks for Stilton in many non-EU countries including the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

At least when it says stilton you are getting the proper stuff and not some cheap knock off
