Not as hard as cheddar, Cotswold has a creamy and full flavour.

Cotswold is a variation of Double Glouster, a hard English cheese similar to cheddar, but milder and less sharp. Traditionally made in the county of Gloucestershire, in the area called the Cotswolds, Double Glouster was originally made from the rich milk of the black cattle of Glouster. This firm cheese is aged for three to four months, so it is not as hard as cheddar. Made with whole milk, it is smooth and creamy, full-flavored, and golden-yellow to orange in colour.

Varieties

Double Glouster is now made in both pasteurised and unpasteurized varieties. Traditional makers include Appleby, Quickes, and Smart. Cotswold is a type of Double Glouster to which chopped chives and onions have been added.

Buying and storing tips

Like most hard cheeses, this cheese can be stored for at least a month in the refrigerator.

Availability

Cotswold is widely available in health food stores, specialty stores, and markets.

Preparation, uses, and tips

This is a fine multipurpose cheese that can be enjoyed on its own, or grated for melting. Try this on baked potatoes or meat pies.
