Neal’s Yard Double Gloucester 17 lb

Special order. 5-week lead time.

This cheese is wonderfully balanced and reminiscent of a beautifully flavored mild cheddar. It comes from a three centuries old recipe that the Appleby family was able to research and develop. The “double” in Double Glocester means that it is made with whole milk from both morning and evening milking. The “single” version of this cheese uses partially skimmed milk. By using whole, raw milk, this cheese has a lot more flavor than most in this category. The folks at Neals Yard describe this cheese as being like buttered toast, and I think that they are spot on.
