Aged Double Gloucester

Harefield

This is a Smart's speciality cheese, and may be considered to be the Gloucester version of parmesan. Originally made from the Single Gloucester recipe, we have spent several years adapting our recipe, and now the Harefield is a cheese in its own right. Being matured for up to two years gives it its own distinctive sweet and nutty flavour.

It has been described by The Real Cheese Companion as having:
"a hard, dry texture and a tang as salty/sharp but grassier and without the smoky tones of Parmesan".
