Double Gloucester Block is a type of cheese produced by Dewlay Cheesemakers Ltd. This cheese originates from Gloucester, England, and is traditionally made from the milk of once-local Gloucester cows. Double Gloucester is known for its smooth, creamy texture and rich, nutty flavor.

It is a semi-hard cheese, often colored a warm, orange hue due to the addition of annatto. This cheese is aged longer than Single Gloucester, providing a more robust flavor profile. It can be enjoyed on its own, as part of a cheese board, or used in various culinary dishes.
