Double Gloucester is crafted using a mixture of morning and evening milk, hence the name, Double Gloucester. It is a traditional, semi-hard cheese which has been made in Gloucestershire since the sixteenth century. Double Gloucester is made from whole milk, colored with annatto to give it a warm orange color. The crumbly consistency is reminiscent of a good farmhouse Cheddar.
Ours is by the inimitable Ford Farms on the south coast of England, and is aged in a traditional cloth binding for 6 months.
