A hard cheese whose origins can be traced all the way back to 1498. Made in Gloucester, it has a rich buttery flavour and a slightly flaky texture. It is not as firm as a cheddar and its apricot colour is created by a natural plant extract annatto (the same as in Red Leicester). It gets its name because traditionally the cheese was made in big blocks, double the size of a Single Gloucester.
