Does blue cheese go with chocolate?

White chocolate and Stilton? What?! This is no prank. The sweet, luscious, creaminess of white chocolate is the perfect partner in crime for the savoury notes of this classic British blue cheese.

Follow along to find out why they belong together, and how to whip up this simple, super easy soda bread loaf in less than an hour. It is amazing with a bowl of butternut squash or pumpkin soup.

We also reveal what to do with those rinds if you don't want to eat them.

And we pay homage to ‪1912 Artisan‬ Cheeses used in the recipe, and one of our Great British Food Award winners.
