I stand corrected.

Ah, and I see Wikipedia confirms that it does take its name from Stilton in Huntingdonshire. Every time I pass that on the way to Peterborough, I wonder if it's to do with it.

It's quite an odd story - how many foods/drinks are restricted to being produced in a given area which does not include the place that it's named after?
