Single Gloucester

Single Gloucester is a very old cheese from Gloucestershire; it weighs between 6 and 7 kg. It is made with two milks: the skimmed milk of the evening milking and the unskimmed milk of the morning milking. It is thus lighter than Double Gloucester, weighing between 12 and 14 kg, which is made with two unskimmed milkings. Single Gloucester is protected by a PDO.
