Double Gloucester is a traditional, whole [[milk]], hard [[cheese]] which has been made in Gloucestershire since the 16th century although production in the county had died out by 1950. At one time the cheeses were made only with the [[milk]] from Gloucester cows, which became almost extinct, although Charles Martell uses the [[milk]] of his own herd of Gloucesters to make this [[cheese]] which was revived on his farm in Dymock in 1973. Many farmhouses can still be seen to-day with their louvered tallets, which is where the [[cheese]] was stored before being sold to the [[cheese]] merchants. These merchants would walk on the [[cheese]] to check that they weren’t ‘hoven’ or too soft.

The [[milk]] in Double Gloucester is taken from both morning and evening milkings giving it a rich, buttery taste and flaky texture. It is firm and bitable, buy not as firm as [[Cheddar]] and it has a mellow, nutty character with an [[orange]]-zest tang. The colour is pale orange, due to the addition of [[annatto]]. The [[milk]] can either be pasteurised or unpasteurised. The [[cheese]] has a natural rind and takes many months to mature. It weighs 2.5kg and has a diameter of 21.5cm and a height of 7cm and there is also a smaller cheese weighing 700g, with a diameter of 12cm and a height of 5cm. It is wrapped in waxed paper.

Charles Martell's Double Gloucester can be enjoyed as a snack, for [[grating]] or [[grilling]].
