Stilton cheese
An early printed reference to Stilton cheese points to a similar production technique. Daniel Defoe in his 1724 work "A tour thro' the whole island of Great Britain" notes "We pass'd Stilton, a town famous for cheese, which is call'd our English Parmesan, and is brought to table with the mites or maggots round it, so thick, that they bring a spoon with them for you to eat the mites with, as you do the cheese."
