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.

Saga is a soft cow's milk cheese from Tolstrup in Jutland, Denmark. It joins a white bloomy rind to a mild blue vein, so people often call it a meeting of Brie and blue cheese. The paste is creamy and much gentler than a strong Danish blue. The blue lines can be delicate, and some pieces show only a light scatter of mold. Shops sell it under its own name, including far from Denmark.
