One of those on the board in 'otel on street (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stilton

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'board in 'otel on street' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'one of those on' is the wordplay.
'one of those' becomes 'stilt' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'stilt'+'on'='STILTON'

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stilton that I've seen before include "Lost tin (anag)" , "Strong blue cheese" , "Rich, blue-veined cheese" , "Blue 8 across" , "Type of cheese" .)
