Double Gloucester with Onion and Chives

Double Gloucester with Onion & Chives starts with a traditional Double Gloucester, a cheese crafted in Gloucestershire, England, since the 16th century. Originally made using milk from Gloucester cattle, today it's produced with pasteurized cow’s milk, using a full-fat blend that gives it a smooth, creamy texture and deep, golden hue. The name “Double” refers to the use of milk from both the morning and evening milkings, which gives it added depth and richness.

The addition of real onion and chives is the key here, bringing a zesty herbaceous brightness and a light sweetness into the mix, which blends wonderfully to the cheese’s naturally buttery base. The result is a cheese that’s bold and aromatic, and with a lingering savory depth that's just at home on a cheeseboard as it is melted over fresh toasted bread. It slices cleanly, crumbles easily, and melts beautifully, making it the perfect choice for grilled cheese, jacket potatoes, and bubbling cheese toasts.

On a cheeseboard, serve it alongside crusty bread, whole-grain mustard, tangy pickles, and a crisp English ale for a classic but favorite combo. For something unexpected, crumble it into biscuits, stir it into scrambled eggs, or fold it into a creamy mac and cheese for an instant upgrade.
