Have you tried… Single Gloucester?

The Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling is an annual, dangerous tradition in Brockworth, near Gloucester, typically held on the Spring Bank Holiday Monday in May. Participants chase a wheel of Gloucester cheese down a near-vertical, 200-yard hill, often resulting in dramatic tumbles, bruises, and broken bones, with winners taking home the cheese! Traditionally the cheese chased is a Double Gloucester, Single Gloucester is it’s slightly harder to find sister cheese.

This classic Single Gloucester cheese is hand produced in the heart of the Cotswolds by the Weaver family. The makers have joined forces with the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust to make an Organic Single Gloucester cheese using Gloucester cattle that graze the Trust’s Greystones Farm Nature Reserve.

The cheese has a natural, dove grey rind which brings a lovely earthiness to the cheese. With a light crumble and clean finish, the cheese has a very moreish quality, with notes of warm milk and almonds. The lighter, zestier cousin of Double Gloucester, the cheese was designed to be enjoyed locally in Gloucester (while the Double Gloucester would be sold at market to be enjoyed further afield), with history of the cheeses being made dating back to the 16th Century.

Single Gloucester is one of only a handful of cheeses in the UK with a PDO (Protected Designated Origin), which stipulates that it must be made in Gloucestershire and the milk must predominantly come from the rare breed Gloucester Cow. There are one of only five producers in the world to make this particular cheese, and the Weavers are one of the most local makers to our Cheese Maturing Rooms in Bourton on the Water - a stones throw away from the nature reserve!

Its 'National Bee Day' later in the week, and in many ways, bees embody the values increasingly sought in modern food culture: balance, sustainability, patience, and stewardship. Whether through supporting regenerative farming, planting pollinator-friendly gardens, or simply choosing reusable beeswax wraps over disposable plastics, small actions accumulate into meaningful change. 

🐝To celebrate we are offering £5 off our Reusable Bees Wax wraps. Using code BEE at checkout.🐝

Re-usable Beeswax Cheese Wraps - Pack of 5

Made with 100% natural materials and beautiful British beeswax, these wraps are an excellent alternative to plastic clingfilm for your cheese storage and are 100% plastic free.

Perfect for cheese; the natural cotton and beeswax lets the cheese breathe and does not allow it to sweat. The wraps are beautifully tactile to hold and the warmth from your hands will seal them in place around your cheese. Also perfect for covering dishes in the fridge - for example to cover a dish of leftover grated cheese.

Designed with patterns inspired by some of our favourite cheese rinds, these wraps are handmade in the UK. Available in this handy combination pack of five, reusable self-sealing wraps, which are sustainable and food safe.

We have been absolutely entranced with cheese carving ahead of her installation at Jermyn Street as part of next week. Intrigued by the cheese she’s carving…? It’s a pretty unique cheese named after a 9th Century Ethiopian Goatherder, and the father of coffee…

Kaldi is the result of a special partnership between RAVE Coffee and Paxton & Whitfield, celebrating two beloved flavours, coffee, and cheese. The cheese’s name is inspired by the legend of Kaldi, the young goat herder who discovered coffee centuries ago. It combines the fruity notes of RAVE’s responsibly sourced coffee beans with the fresh, nutty flavours of this hard goat’s cheese.
United by a mutual passion for collaboration and innovation, David Webb from RAVE Coffee and James Rutter from Paxton & Whitfield delved into various avenues to bring this concept to life. Their exploration spanned diverse starting points, ranging from different milk types and cheese styles to a wide array of coffees found at the roastery. Remarkably, their initial attempt yielded a complex, balanced, and intriguing outcome.
Kaldi begins its ageing process at our state-of-the-art maturation rooms in the Cotswolds, a short distance from RAVE HQ in Cirencester. Originating as a young, unrinded goat’s cheese sourced from the Somerset Cheese Company, it embarks on a journey overseen by Quality Manager Jazz Reeves. This involves meticulous brine-washing and coffee coating, before maturing for approximately ten weeks. Kaldi is then ready to be hand-cut, wrapped and ready for your cheeseboards.
