About Gloucester cheese

Gloucester cheese is an English cow's-milk cheese traditionally associated with Gloucestershire. It is made in single and double Gloucester styles, generally sold as wheels or cut portions; the cheese is firm but sliceable, with a pale to deeper yellow-orange interior.

Single Gloucester is typically lighter and more crumbly, while Double Gloucester is richer and firmer. The flavour is milky and savoury, with greater richness in the double style. It is eaten sliced or grated and used in cooking; style and maturation influence texture and intensity.
