What it is

Double Gloucester is a firm, unpasteurized cow's milk cheese traditionally made in Gloucestershire, England. It has a distinctive orange color, which comes from annatto, a natural food coloring. The cheese is aged for at least four months, developing a mild, slightly nutty flavor.

Why it's used

Double Gloucester is often eaten on its own or as part of a cheese board. It is also used in cooking, particularly in gratins and savory pies. Its firm texture and mild flavor make it versatile for various culinary applications.
