Named after the once nearly-extinct Gloucester cattle who produced the milk for the cheese in Gloucestershire, England starting in the 16th century, this cheese is characterized for having a natural rind and a hard texture and also has a stronger and more savoury flavor then its Single Gloucester variation. While the Single Gloucester is made from mainly skim milk, the Double Gloucester, is made from only whole milk and aged for longer periods of time. The stronger and more savoury flavor caused the Double Glouchester to be more sought after outside of the County of Gloucestershire due to its heightened similarity to the best Cheddar or Cheshire.
