Lymeswold was a soft blue cheese from the United Kingdom, made from cow's milk. It had a white edible rind, like a Brie, and a creamy interior with blue veins. The taste was mild rather than sharp, so it was aimed at people who found traditional blue cheeses too strong. The name sounds like an old place, but it was chosen for the market and does not mark a cheesemaking village. Shops do not sell it now, because production stopped and it never returned as a regular cheese.
