Double Gloucester from Belton Farm is a classic English cheese with a long tradition, known for its full flavor and distinctive color. It is made from cow’s milk, traditionally from the milk of Gloucester cattle, and is characterized by a firm yet smooth texture that cuts easily and melts well.

Its taste is mild, slightly buttery, and creamy, with subtle nutty notes that develop during maturation. The cheese is typically aged between three and six months, which gives it a balance between softness and character. Its naturally rich orange hue comes from the addition of annatto, a plant-based pigment that gives it its specific appearance.

Double Gloucester is highly versatile – it can be enjoyed on its own, with crackers, or on a cheeseboard, but it is also excellent for cooking as it melts evenly, making it a popular choice for sandwiches, pies, or gratin dishes.
