Gloucester
Gloucestershire, England
There are two types:
I. Double, the better of the two Gloucesters,
is eaten only after six
months of ripening. “It
has a pronounced, but mellow, delicacy of
flavor...the tiniest morsel
being pregnant with savour. To measure
its refinement, it can undergo
the same comparison as that we apply
to vintage wines. Begin
with a small piece of Red Cheshire. If you
then pass to a morsel of Double
Gloucester, you will find that the
praises accorded to the latter
have been no whit exaggerated.”
A Concise Encyclopedia
of Gastronomy, by Andre L. Simon.
II. Single. By way of comparison, the spring
and summer Single Gloucester
ripens in two months and is
not as big as its “large grindstone”
brother. And neither
is it “glorified Cheshire.” It is
mild and
“as different in qualify
of flavour as a young and crisp wine is
from an old vintage.”
Glumse
West Prussia, Germany
A common, undistinguished cottage cheese.
Glux
Nivernais, France

Goat
France
A frank and fair name for a semihard, brittle mouthful of flavor. Every country has its goat specialties. In Norway the milk is boiled dry, then fresh milk or cream added. In Czechoslovakia the peasants smoke the cheese up the kitchen chimney. No matter how you slice it, goat cheese is always notable or noble.
