Double Gloucester wins Nobel Prize for Cheese
BRITAINâS Double Gloucester has won the highest accolade in the world of coagulated milk protein. The cheese was awarded the Nobel Prize for âcreating a paradigm shift in what it means to be semi-hardâ. The prize, which comes with a cheque for $1m, is decided by a secret jury of Scandinavian professors. ItÂ is not awarded every year, becomes sometimes all the cheeses are rubbish. Double Gloucester said: âMy name is on the prize, but itâs not just about me. Itâs also about cows. Cheese begins and ends with cows. Or goats, or possibly even sheep if youâre an attention-seeking nightmare. âIâm not hard, but Iâm not soft. Thatâs not âfateâ, thatâs not âmagicâ. There is no âCheese Godâ.â Double Gloucester said it hoped the Nobel recognition would inspire innovative young British cheeses such as Wetherby Tickle, Norfolk Blue Fudge and Cornish Scowl. Â
