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.

Sussex Slipcote is a fresh sheep's milk cheese from England. The paste is soft, moist, and almost fluffy, closer to a light curd than to a wheel you slice with force. Makers use pasteurised ewe's milk, and the cheese is sold young, often in a small round. The name is old English dairy speech for a little cottage cheese, and it also fits a soft piece that slips from a thin coat. Plain and flavored versions share that same gentle body.
