About Single Gloucester Cheese

Single Gloucester is a traditional hard cheese made in Gloucestershire, England, using cow's milk. It has an ivory color and is known for its tangy flavor, which provides a pleasant contrast to its mild aroma. The cheese is typically crafted in an artisan style, emphasizing local methods and ingredients. Single Gloucester is less rich and creamy compared to its more famous cousin, Double Gloucester, but it retains a light and refreshing taste. Often enjoyed on its own or as part of a cheese board, it pairs well with fresh bread and fruits.
