Bonchester is a soft cow's milk cheese from Scotland, in the United Kingdom. It is made from the whole milk of Jersey cows, and that milk is not pasteurized. A white bloomy rind covers a yellow paste that turns softer as the cheese ripens. Young cheese tastes clean and milky, with a light buttery side. A ripe round can flow when it is cut, and the taste turns richer, with a gentle floral note.

Cornish Brie is a soft cow's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. The name points to Cornwall, and the make follows French brie, with a white bloomy rind around a yellow buttery paste. At peak, the center turns soft and sometimes gently runny, while the flavor stays mild, creamy, and a little mushroomy. It is a British cheese in a French shape, not Brie de Meaux and not a blue. Cow's milk from that part of Britain gives the paste its deeper yellow color.
