Single Gloucester

England, Gloucestershire

Charles Martell’s old Gloucester breed of cow is used to give a lighter and lower fat content than the Double Gloucester as skimmed milk is mixed with the full fat. The flavours are savoury and nutty and it is best enjoyed when on the young side. Traditionally Single Glos. was made solely for family consumption and therefore less well-known. In 1997 a PDO status for Single Glos. was issued, which now means it can only be produced on farms in Gloucestershire with pedigree Gloucester cattle. The taste and texture is typically British and English apples and pears are a good accompaniment
