Cambozola is a branded soft blue cheese from Germany, made with cow's milk. A wheel has a white bloomy rind and a pale paste marked with blue veins. Extra cream in the make keeps the center rich, and a ripe wheel is almost spoonable. The taste is milder than a firm traditional blue, with mushroom notes from the rind and a gentle blue tang inside. The name joins the idea of Camembert with the idea of Gorgonzola, and the cheese sits between those two styles.

Dragons Breath Blue is a small blue cheese from Nova Scotia, Canada, made from cow's milk. It is surface-ripened, then sealed in black wax, and the paste runs from soft and creamy to a firmer buttery body. The aroma is strong, and the taste is pungent, spicy, and salty, with a briny moisture that often collects inside the wax. You do not slice it like a large wheel. You open the top and spoon out what you want to eat.
