Gloucester

Gloucester, a traditional cheese made from the milk of the once nearly extinct Old Gloucester cows, traces its origins to the 16th century in the City of Gloucester. It comes in two varieties: Single Gloucester and Double Gloucester. Single Gloucester, which holds PDO status, is a hard cheese known for its mild, tangy flavor. Made from partially skimmed milk, it is typically enjoyed as a table cheese. In contrast,Double Gloucesteris a hard cheese with a rich, creamy texture. Made from whole milk, it offers a creamier taste and is ideal for cooking or serving on cheese boards.
