Double Gloucester

Item #: 1267

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.
