Brousse du Rove is a fresh goat's milk cheese from Le Rove in France. Makers use whole milk from Rove goats, a hardy local breed with long twisted horns. They heat the milk and add a little vinegar so the proteins clump into soft white flakes. Those flakes are lifted into small cups and left to drain. The cheese has no rind, and the traditional paste is not salted.

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.
