Double Gloucester

Artisanal CheeseClock Pairing Tool

Double Gloucester is a traditional English cheese from Gloucestershire with a bold orange color and a bright, eggy, and a gentle tangy flavor. Double Gloucester has the honor and distinction of being used each spring for the Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake on Gloucestershire's Cooper's Hill, which consists of competitors chasing a wheel of Double Gloucester down an uneven hillside. The competitors are expected to catch the wheel of cheese; but, with speeds in excess of 70mph, this is virtually impossible. We are pleased to offer Double Gloucester to our customers in convenient half-pound increments, thus sparing you potential injury from running after (or from!) a 70mph, large wheel of cheese...downhill. Try pairing this cheese with a traditional British Ale or spicier red like Syrah.
