1kg Charles Martell Double Gloucester

By CHARLES MARTELL CHEESES

Charles Martell’s own herd of cows produces the creamy, rich milk from which this fabulous cheese is made. The ‘double’ refers to the traditional way of making the cheese, which is based on using both morning and evening milk. Double Gloucester has a hard close smooth texture, and a flavour in between Cheshire and aged Cheddar. The flavour is pronounced but mellow. Anatto is added to give the cheese its characteristic orange colour.

More about Charles Martell Double Gloucester ...

There are records of Gloucester cheese being made as long ago as 1594. Originally made in many parts of the shire it became concentrated in the Vale of Berkeley on the east side of the river Severn.

Two kinds of cheese were made: Single and Double Gloucester, both shaped like a wheel or a millstone. In taste, Single Gloucester is light and creamy with a subtle flavour, wheras Double Gloucester is rich and tangy with a firm, dense, smooth texture. In the eighteenth century, cheese merchants persuaded the makers to add a red dye, such as carrot or beetroot juice, to make Double Gloucester look more distinctive. Annatto is used today, giving the cheese an orange-red colour.

Both cheeses were made from the rich milk of handsome Gloucester cattle. In the 1970s, to save Gloucester cattle from extinction (there were only 45 animals left in 1974), Charles Martell started making this cheese in the traditional way at his farm near Dymock. Now the number of Gloucester cattle has risen to seven hundred and both Single and Double Gloucesters are made by a handful of craft makers, including Martell.

From 1997 - again thanks to Martell - Single Gloucester has had Protected Designation of Origin status (PDO), meaning it can only legitimately be produced in Gloucesterhire, from cattle of the correct pedigree. The Cheese and Wine Shop carrys both Single and Double Gloucester.
