About Double Gloucester Cheese
Double Gloucester is a traditional British cheese made from cow's milk. It is known for its firm texture and rich, nutty flavor with a hint of sweetness. The cheese has a smooth, buttery consistency and a bright orange color, due to the addition of annatto. Double Gloucester is typically aged for about four to six months and is often used in the British dish, Welsh rarebit, or enjoyed on its own.
