Caboc is a Scottish cream cheese from the United Kingdom. It is made from cow's milk that has been enriched with cream, or from double cream itself. The cheese is shaped into a short log and rolled in toasted oatmeal, which gives the outside a rough, nutty coat. The paste is soft, pale yellow, and thick enough to spread. It is a fresh cheese, not a pressed wheel and not a blue.

Crowdie is a fresh cheese from Scotland, in the United Kingdom, and it is made from cow's milk. It is soft, crumbly, and lightly sour, closer to a fresh curd than to a pressed wheel. The curd is set with acid, so the flavor stays mild and clean. The paste is white and moist, with no rind at all. People eat it soon after making, while it is still soft.
