If you're looking for a cheese that's big on flavor, look no further than Trader Joe's new Cotswold Double Gloucester Cheese.

[Trader Joe's Cotswold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoked-english-cheddar-cheese) Double Gloucester Cheese is a new take on Double Gloucester cheese that features the savory addition of [chopped onions and chives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-specially-selected). The cheese starts with pasteurized whole milk from Gloucestershire County, England, which is transformed into a yellow, semi-hard cheese and then aged longer than a Single Gloucester variety would be. The result is a firmer cheese that boasts a [mild, sweet, and buttery flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specially-selected-speciality-cheese). The addition of onions and chives also gives the cheese a distinctive savory profile and a little bit of bite.

Perfect for pairing with beer and wine, Trader Joe's Cotswold Double Gloucester Cheese is a must-try.
