About Double Gloucester Cheese

Double Gloucester is a traditional English cheese made from full-fat cow’s milk. It has a rich, buttery flavor with hints of nuttiness and a smooth, firm texture that becomes more crumbly as it ages. Its deep orange color comes from annatto, a natural plant dye often used in British cheeses.

Pairings

Double Gloucester pairs wonderfully with apples, pears, chutneys, and crusty bread. It’s great for melting in toasties, baked dishes, or atop shepherd’s pie. It also goes well with English ales or medium-bodied red wines.
