About Double Gloucester

Double Gloucester is a traditional English cow’s-milk cheese with a firm yet yielding texture and a smooth, close paste. Its colour is typically deep yellow to orange, and its flavour is buttery and savoury, becoming fuller with maturation.

It is made as a pressed cheese and sold in rounds or cut portions, either young or more mature. The name refers to a cheese style, not simply a generic double portion of Gloucester cheese.
