Blue cheese contains protein and vitamin B12 (cobalamin), phosphorus, and selenium. It’s a good brain food. A vitamin B12 deficiency will cause confusion and inability to think straight. Penicillin came from mold. It was the first ever antibacterial med that saved lives.
All the nutrients? Actually blue cheese is mostly healthy to eat. It is high in calorie and sodium but it is a great way to get vitamin b12 which is a cognitive food. It aids in digestion. It aids in heart and bone health and is an anti-inflammatory. So maybe whoever invented blue cheese helped aid in a person staying alive at a time when medical science was still infantile.
I'm an artisan cheesemaker's apprentice and it's always interesting seeing how larger places than my own undergo lots of the same work that we do, but seeing how they do what we do with our hands, with these giant machines. I'm not knocking it at all, it's just cool to see that, for instance, there's actually a machine to pierce the cheese. We have a tool that's just one long nail, driven by hand, and that's how we pierce our cheese. Another thing, a little different, but notice they have curds in hoops and stir the salt in by hand. That sounds delightful to me; we use this giant table, 400 pounds of curds, and stir the salt in with a huge plastic pitchfork. Every time we do this I have to bend slightly down to shovel these heavy ass curds and it kills my back. I'd love to be able to do it in small batches like that. My employer is old school in a lot of ways and sometimes I see the assembly lines of other places and I'm like...why are we doing this the hard way? lol. But we're so tiny compared to places like this. Everything is in great condition, cleanest place I've ever worked, but it's made for two to three people, not five or more. Anyway, it's just cool to see what other places do.
This is the best, most detailed explanation of a commercial cheesemaking process I have seen. None but this video have shown the addition of bacteria and rennet. I have been watching videos made by a home cheese maker making various cheeses or I would not have known the how and why of each step that starts the process. This video showed most of it and it was the first I’ve seen that has done so. There may be others, but I haven’t seen them. I wouldn’t mind a little more detail of the initial steps, but thank you for what you have included.
I used to work at the Arla Stilton cheese factory in Melton Mowbray. They actually use antibiotics to get the mold to go faster. The rub up part these guys are doing is the slow way, we would mix a bit of water with some cheese to make a paste and you'd paste it over the Stilton like a plasterer would do a wall. And we weren't allowed to smoke on our breaks because they reckon it could cause the Stilton to taste different lol. The best job I did there was piercing the cheese, you could chill and listen to music, whereas turning the wet Stilton was the worst part of the job.
Ha, back in 2007 I used to deliver fruit and veg to the canteen there. Instantly thought of it when I started watched. Emphasis should have been made about the smell in that place.
@@chrisgartenn Mate you should do a quick search, before making a comment, pretending to know what your talking about! It's made with Penicillium not yeast. Here is the quote from Wiki: Stilton is an English cheese, produced in two varieties: Blue, which has Penicillium roqueforti added to generate a characteristic smell and taste, and White, which does not.
It smells like unwashed, sweaty feet, and clothes that got wet, and were stored in a plastic bag. The worse it smells, the better it tastes... god, that foul, foul smell males my mouth water
Try it with a slice of dark, rich fruit cake. One with plenty of vine fruits and some citrus. Preferably a cake soused with port, sherry or whiskey. Accompanied by a glass of desert wine.
One thing I always felt was missing from these shows is what the factories smell like. I can't imagine a blue cheese factory smelling like anything other than death.
I felt weird visiting the channel and picking this to watch also. I felt quite grossed out at least when I was 18 and not remembering if I've actually seen "blue/Bleu cheese" in cut wedges with what had what looked like mold and made me feel strange seeing it as part of my sibling's wedding reception. I don't remember if I had the blue cheese dip/dressing before that, tbh. This also makes me think of a delivery the previous week which was first order I ever placed of a possibly new wing place a few miles from home. My order was for a wing combo and it had not just a missing bottle of Diet Pepsi but the small cups with "B" on top were not ranch dip I chose but yep, blue cheese I'm not so into. I felt strange and I pretty much only tasted some from 1 of the 2 cups at least to confirm for myself I was given the wrong sauce, and sure, I don't really order it on purpose ever but I tasted some anyways I guess to "make sure" I was not into it 😅. I used a bit more than expected, too but hey at least I think the correct wing flavor was used, being whatever "liquid gold" sauce is (the app I used only had sauce flavor or dry rub names with no few ingredient names for at descriptions). I miss the SCI channel I used to binge watch this show on certain mini marathons mostly on weekends a few years back🥲🤭😅
Stilton is nothing like Danish Blue, or Gorgonzola. It's mild and creamy, and perfect on crackers, with a glass of port or a heavy red wine. I highly recommend you give it a try, but it does need to be fresh. If you haven't eaten it all in four or five days, move it to the freezer and use it for cooking, because by day ten, it will smell and taste like sweaty socks.
Stilton is an acquired taste like Marmite. I love it, but can I recommend another English blue cheese, if you like blue cheese, Capstick Blue, it's blue, but the cheese itself is pale orange. When your Stilton gets old, because you forgot to eat it, cook with it, it's great grilled on toast or in a homemade sauce or cooked into a pizza as extra topping. 🧀😋
When I was a student one of my housemates was a French girl who made it clear she didn't think much of British food but one day she tried Stilton and it became her favourite cheese. She bought a big wheel of it back home to her parents over Christmas.
Strange to find out that the preparation added to the process to give the cheese its blue veins is called Penicillium Roquefort. I am aware that Roquefort is made with sheep’s milk whereas Stilton is made of cow’s milk and that this results in two distinctly different tasting blue veined cheeses. Does the fact that the blue vein culture has the word Roquefort in it give it ascendancy in the process of making blue veined cheeses?
I remember the first and only time I’ve ever had blue cheese, I nearly threw up because of the taste and smell. I can’t believe just how many people enjoy it.
You have to start off with softer cheeses. The first time I tasted it, I too almost threw up. But inslowly worked my way up, and now I cannot get enough of it
@@tuipaopao In that case: "Mum there's mould IN my cheese." "Throw it away it's unhealthy." "Mum there's mould ON my cheese." "Eat up it's good for you." :P
Indeed, i rarely toss a piece of cheese that's gone mouldy if I can trim off the mouldy parts ("normal" cheese usually gets mouldy on the outside), but the problem is you never know what's growing on it so it's safer not to eat. HOWEVER, the biggest problem is... how can you tell if a piece of blue cheese has gone off?!
@@tuipaopao🙃😶🤐😅 ohhh (and I've got at least 1 long comment on my reaction to seeing blue cheese in its solid/wedge form for first time I knew of in my teens). I can't recall if I even heard or read that brie has mold; I can only remember ehh kind of a weird mix of "bitter + salt + 'strong'" I'm not so into 🙃 I don't run I've had the other cheeses but I've heard of the names (but I might have heard camembert mispronounced)
This is so labor intensive and so cool to watch! I love Stilton cheese. It is so interesting the way so few cheese makers are authorized to make Stilton cheese.
Many years ago I had some Welsh Caerphilly that was so good, and I haven’t been able to find it again. It had a moist, very slightly spongy texture to it, and a not overly sharp flavor. Maybe I’ll find one someday.
There's a biscuit factory, that's UK English for a cookie factory, some miles away from where I live, and you can smell them baking, if you live there, like the bread factory in Slough outside of Lonon and the brewery in Romford, Essex, if you go to those towns.

@@KennethStone ok, for me it's a super normal thing but I know that most of the global population thinks like in this joke because they are not from mold cheese culture
I would say just try it once or twice .. judge it with your tastebuds rather than with your eyes. I always thought it was weird that people would eat it and was put off by the mouldiness, but once I tried it I was hooked by that unique taste If it tastes good and doesn't make you ill then it can't be bad

Paired with a lovely port it's hard to beat. Broccoli and stilton soup is pretty damn good too
I didn't know the English made blue cheese. I remember the French had blue cheese called Roquefort.
There is an Italian blue cheese too.
Spanish blue cheese is called queso Cabrales
@@farticlesofconflatulation 😋 I'll look for it.
There are plenty of US made blues, too. My intro to it was Maytag Blue, made in Iowa.
imagine going home smelling like that.
Love blue cheese.
I can say that I have tried authentic blue stilton several times and it is everything and more it is said to be. It is heaven in your mouth. I made a Stilton and Leek Gratin recently and wow was that 5 star deliciousness.
I love moldy Stilton cheese!
Used to ABSOLUTELY hate this cheese now I’m in love with this cheese
My all time favorite cheese! So good!!❤❤❤❤❤
I agree
Wonderful to see how many people are eating Stilton while watching how it’s made 😊
I love marmite on a crumpet with crumbled stilton on top! Amazing 😋
Go home, you're drunk.
A what on a what with what?
@@seanharris8419 marmite resembles oil and goes nice on toast (sparingly). A crumpet is a circular breakfast item, like an aerated disk of bread.
Stilton.... well you watched the video. Its pure heaven.
I know this is a digression but I love marmite on pork sausages.
Yeahh!!
I love stilton. 👍
Stilton really and truly IS the King of cheeses ❤
LOVE BLUE CHEESE!!!
I saw salt cup. I ain’t blind.
“Ugh, it’s gone blue.” “It’s riddled with mold.” -Dwalin and Balin, The Hobbit
I always find it funny that normally, mold in food is a major NO-NO! But blue cheese? Hey, have at it!
because it's a different kind. That one from blue cheese is not harmfull, the other can be super toxic
@@kattungekerstin8270 That’s there joke…
@@KennethStone ok, for me it's a super normal thing but I know that most of the global population thinks like in this joke because they are not from mold cheese culture
Well you have to be demented to enjoy such a thing or maybe its because they want dementia.
I love Stilton!
I don't understand why anyone eats this stuff but it's interesting to see how it's created
That's fair and you can like what you want, but I wager tons of people hold this opinion without even having tasted it once.
Because it's delicious?
I feel exactly the same way about limburger.
@@CA-ee1et Something one person love to eat others may find find not to their liking. It's called personal taste.
I would say just try it once or twice .. judge it with your tastebuds rather than with your eyes.
I always thought it was weird that people would eat it and was put off by the mouldiness, but once I tried it I was hooked by that unique taste
If it tastes good and doesn't make you ill then it can't be bad
what is the point of this cheese ? taste does not seems to be the main point
Man I can not see me eating that type of cheese I would eat beets out of the can before I eat that cheese
Mee two
Why turn something down you havent tried?
@@lucky43113 because I know just how tolerable my stomach is
Love blue cheese and stilton is up there
i know its human safe but i just can't bring myself to eat moldy cheese
Definitely agree
Eh it's an acquired taste basically not everyone is gonna like it
If you like creamy cheese like Brie you're already eating lots of mold. It's just white mold instead of blue.
Just had this one Yesterday!
Wooooow😋 New favorite blue cheese!!!
I tried Blue Stilton Cheese once and I had no end of very scary nightmares. never again lol
The looks of some of those could cause nightmares I think.
That's the best part!
@@jdmjesus6103 Not when I was dreaming that I was dead and I had turned into swamp. 🤪🤓
@@doomsdaytuther5095 I suspect that might reveal something more than a reaction to blue cheese.
@@greggi47 What do you mean?
1:47 That woman *really* loves her job.
I love blue cheese on salad, sooooo good. The mold adds such a good flavor.
might as well scrape flakes of hobo's knob rot cheese on your salad too.
If I'm eating somehwere and get enthusiastically told "that is when you add the starting culture" imma head out ngl.
“The company won’t disclose how much salt”…. The video clearly shows the worker adding a 3/4 cup measure of salt to a 24 lbs. tub of cheese curds! 🤔 🤦♂️
Obviously that was a decoy that they added a completely wrong amount of salt to, in order to throw internet cheese pirates off the trail.
@@SaltBayGull Internet cheese pirates 😅
😁
Is no one going to mention the guy with no gloves clearly touching the bottom of the cheese when getting a sample and then licking his fingers.
No.
I don’t think I could eat this cheese if I wanted to. I’m super allergic to penicillin :/
Penicillium Roqueforti does not produce penicillin.
I love Stilton
