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 Traditionally made in the county of Gloucestershire, in the area called the Cotswolds, Double Glouster was originally made from the rich milk of the black cattle of Glouster.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 color.
