Isn't prepared to invest the lot, anyhow, in an English export (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stilton

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

'an english export' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'isn't prepared to invest the lot anyhow' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates an anagram.
'to invest' is an insertion indicator (back).
'anyhow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'isnt' anagrammed gives 'stin'.
'lot' with letters rearranged gives 'lto'.
'stin' going around 'lto' is 'STILTON'.

'in' acts as a link.
