Abbaye de Timadeuc Cheese is a mild cow's milk cheese from France, sold under that abbey name. Monks make it as a pressed cheese with a washed rind. The paste is supple and pale yellow, and it yields when you press a slice. A few small, irregular eyes may show inside an otherwise smooth body. Flavor stays lactic and lightly salty, with a nutty aroma instead of a fierce washed rind.

Mont des Cats is a semi-soft cow's milk cheese from France. The paste is pressed, smooth, and supple, with a few small holes, and a washed rind colors the outside orange to red. The taste is mild, milky, and lightly savory, closer to a gentle table cheese than to a pungent washed rind. People eat it in slices and also melt it. The name belongs to this French cheese, not to a blue and not to a fresh curd.
